Hmmmm. . . Interesting perspective. I definitely agree that being on the edge and pointing to it is part of the work of a priest/ess -- but it seems to me that without also being engaged in the world in some way that is consistent with the basic tenets and values of her faith she and all that lies beyond the edge risk being labeled as irrelevant.

If a priest/ess does nothing but point to "out there" then it implies that the "out there" is not also "here with us." And it is. It must be if there is to be any point to spirituality.
