Can I become an Episcopal priest given my past?
To start, I am female. I have been married twice and have a child. I was raised in the Episcopal church, and would like to become a priest. My first husband beat me, and ultimately sent me away. My second husband had multiple affairs and ran off with his mistress leaving myself and our daughter. I am engaged (much later- These marriages occurred very early in life), and will be married again soon. Will I be immediately disqualified for such a position given my past or will the fact that I have turned my life completely around and feel a call to the ministry count for anything? Those who will say I am joking, I assure you, I am not. Those who will make fun of me may do so, but I will immediately ignore. Thank you for your time.
