Ladies Of The Grail In Ohio

Recommended Posts

The previous posters are 100% correct that The Grail is no longer a Catholic movement in the United States. Jewish women and Protestant women can be full members and the emphasis is on the universality of all religions. The location in Ohio no longer has a formal association with the Catholic Church - they have a hall called St Brigid, but that's only because St Brigid was a craftswoman and they make ceramics there. I'm serious - these are very thoughtful ladies who make crafts and meditate on being one with the clay. They host a sangha, which is what Buddhists call their religious gatherings. 

To learn more you can browse their website, grail-us.org.

Nice ladies doing good work in our great state of Ohio. But I'm sure the original women who worked so hard to build up the organization would be stunned by the turn they took. It's an object lesson for anyone planning to leave money to any non profit or charity. Include a provision that it be spent within 5 years, so that it can't be used to prop up the institution after it changes.

This thread is from 2009. The people who were originally wondering if the Grail was still active are no longer here - Moon Child Anne, for example, hasn't posted in seven years.

Please check the dates on threads before bumping them. Some old threads are relevant to current conversations on the forum, and sometimes people want to build on an existing discussion rather than starting a new one - that's fine. But when people bump a thread to answer a question that was asked seven years ago, then it's unlikely to be useful to anyone who is here now and will just spark debates over the views of members who are no longer around to participate.
