Audio from our live feed of starting “Pagans who get Stuff Done!”
“McCabe’s Law: Nobody _has_ to do _anything_.”
- Charles McCabe
On the group Pagans Who Get Stuff Done, the concept of providing a Pagan Resumé is emphasized and recommended. This is an idea that has been tossed around the Pagan community recently, but there hasn’t been much in the way of example. Let’s look at my Pagan Resumé as an example.

This is a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They are a gay rights organization that go out and preach the good word. The sisters say it best, “Unlike more traditional nuns, we are an Order of many faiths, religions and beliefs. However we are all united by the vows that each of us take: to promulgate universal joy, expiate stigmatic guilt and serve the community, our fellow Sisters and the Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”

I saw this on Barbara’s Facebook a while back, and believe it is appropriate to share here:
The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Y’all ain’t right.
Christian fundamentalists also helped us put the kibosh on the Helms Amendment. Speaking in tongues? Casting spells? All the same to Jesse Helms!
