For all of you who were baptized into Christ
have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free person,
there is not male and female;
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
(Gal 3:27-28)

To live the grace of our baptism is very radical. According to Saint Paul it means that in the Christian community we live without “walls” —the walls that divide the church into clergy/laity, male/female. But of course, we clergy types would be the first to object!
