We have not grown up enough to comprehend what it is to be a nation of priests. ~ Jo Helen Cox
Today, about 6,500 OA groups meet each week in over 75 countries. With OA divided into 10 regions worldwide and approximately 54,000 members worldwide, it helps thousands of compulsive eaters find new life in recovery. ~ Overeaters Anonymous website
A priesthood of believers...
a nation of priests...
old ideas, but what of them?
What is a priest? Depends on religion,
on denomination, on governing body edicts.
But is not priest used in these terms
more broadly than structurally?
What does a priest do? Minister,
serve, benefit, provide, lead
toward a Power greater than we.
Carrying recovery, bearing the message,
spreading the good news
until the whole world can find
peace within and become the fulfillment
of peace on earth, serving each other.
