Warning this postal worker does not play well with stupid people shirt, hoodie
The bishop said Boss “has that quality of presence that invites one to go deeper, to ask questions of the spirit and soul.
“She brings the gift not of easy answers that are trite or shallow, but of spiritual companionship,” he said.
‘A natural progression’ Warning this postal worker does not play well with stupid people shirt, hoodie
Only a handful of people were allowed to attend the ordination, but her family and friends watched online. And as she left the chapel, her parishioners surprised her with a car parade, waving and handing her flowers and gifts as they drove by.
Boss said her three sons — Jonathan, 28, Adam, 26, and Noah, 23 — are very happy for her. Her youngest called her “Rev. Mom” after her ordination.
“I think they all see it as a natural progression of who I am as a person,” she said. “They’re very supportive, and very dear, and maybe a little bit bemused.”
Becoming a faith leader in a time of pandemic has been challenging but also transformative, Boss said. “It has let me see how deeply the community of the church really runs,” she said. “The church is about much more than its buildings. The buildings are very important, and the gathering, the community that we create in those buildings, are really important.
“But there is a hunger for what happens outside of the buildings, both in people’s personal practices and in terms of who we encounter and interact with, the wider community of our parishes where our churches are.”
Her parish, which has about 120 members, has been active in supporting the local community during the pandemic, offering tutoring to students, and memorializing those lost to COVID-19. It’s about “getting out into the world and being the hands and arms and head of the body of Christ in the world,” Boss said.
Here is perhaps an overlooked blessing to come out of the crisis, she said. “We often focus so much on how bad everything is, and miss how much beautiful light is happening, how much love is happening, how much connection is happening that maybe wouldn’t have happened,” she said. “And God is in it all.”
