Pantocratoria wrote:Empress Anna politely inclined her head ever so slightly towards Bishop Balkus, and her husband. It had been difficult to get used to married bishops in the Church of Excalbia when Anna had first married Joseph all those years ago, but she had gotten used to it by now. She did not, however, ever think she could get used to the idea of a woman bishop.
A Pantocratorian by her birth, Anna had been raised in the Catholic faith, and had remained firm in it even after marrying the Crown Prince of Excalbia, as Joseph was then. So firm, in fact, that their daughter, the now Crown Princess Elizabeth, had been baptized Catholic, not without controversy. There was much Anna could admit to finding admirable in the Church of Excalbia, but women in the priesthood, and now in the episcopacy, were perhaps the most visible reminder of the manifest doctrinal differences between her husband's faith and her own.
At least she's married to a man, Anna reflected. It could be worse.
"My Lady." Anna said to Bishop Balkus, then turned to Mr. Balkus. "Sir. A pleasure."

The Resurgent Dream wrote:Bishop David Boehm, the Chief Bishop of the Church of Excalbia in the Caldan Union, had spent almost his entire life in the church. A life lived in service to God, he believed. Even as Chief Bishop, he had managed to dedicate more of his time to pastoral care than to church politics, but he had weathered enough internal battles in recent years. The same divisions that existed throughout the church were certainly present internally in the Caldan Union and many disaffected members had turned to the Baptists.
A tall, thin, older man, Boehm carried himself with a reflective air. His wife, Michelle, was shorter, rounder, and a few years younger. She looked warm and welcoming where David looked a little more reflective. They approached the imperial family arm in arm.

“My Lord,” Emperor Joseph said with a slight nod and a smile, “welcome to Citadel Excalbia.” He nodded to Michelle. “Madam, welcome,” he said. “I hope that you will find your stay pleasant, if busy.”
The Emperor turned to his wife and daughter. “My wife, Empress Anna, and my daughter, Crown Princess Elizabeth.”

Jesus kannte aber ihre Gedanken und sprach zu ihnen: Ein jegliches Reich, so es mit sich selbst uneins wird, das wird wüst; und eine jegliche Stadt oder Haus, so es mit sich selbst uneins wird, kann's nicht bestehen
Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
