I agree with the Speaker and have concluded that my other activities do not permit me to devote the time that membership of the Lords properly requires.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.
Do your duty, that is best; leave unto the Lord the rest.
To do my duty, I must obey God.
I see everything I do as an extension of the ministry. It's all about service.
Often the work of the Lord itself may be a temptation to keep us from that communion with Him which is so essential to the benefit of our own souls.
I know I need to be dependent on the Lord. I will try to do what he wants for the Young Women and to be a receptive servant while I'm on his errand.
My duties are wider than those of the Pope. The Pope is only concerned with the spiritual welfare of his flock.
When you are part of a megachurch, you have no responsibility to anybody else.
The House of Lords says I'm not a member of it. My passport says I am - get used to it.
I am not going to the House of Lords. Never. That's not who I am. That's not where I am.
