  • Lasting influence

    You didn't know how much of an effect you had on me in the short time I attended your lectures. It was massive in many ways. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you peace and blessings x

  • Eternal thanks

    You went where others attempted to desecrate. Your intellectual precision restored these places, to a group of folk (GLBTQI)who were cast out as pearls before swine. I am so thankful for your beautiful mind and spirit. Eternal peace and blessings to you and yours.

    Agape, forward ever.

    Dear Marcella

    I have only just read of your passing. We met over twenty years ago when you gave a talk about liberation theology to Quakers and I was struck even then by your quiet dignity, humanity and intelligence. That talk is still inspiring me now - its message illuminating my work and service.

    Thank you for your life and Go Well Friend.

    In Peace

    Nicola James

    Te encontré hace muchos años, leyendo y encontré que la fuerza estaba en los legados de cultura, la radical diferencia de mis creencias, la negación de lo que se ha hecho creer, mi derecho a ser derecha... Gracias.

    No te conocí pero estuve cerca, en ISEDET, con Severino, conesto que el cuerpo genera y que es también indecente. Que no solamente tu sabiduría sino tu fuerza nos sigan guiando... Gracias Marcella Maria,
