What’s going on this week - a reminder that tomorrow at 5:30pm Ntosake, the group for women in organizing - is meeting at the MCU office! Also, our Advent series, A Weary World, is really a helpful time for those of us tired of the pressure to be so merry and bright.

“Being open to naming God in new ways based on personal experience was not a luxury, but a necessity if God would accompany people in their changing lives.” - Terence Fretheim, New Interpreter’s Bible Commentary (10 vol set), Abingdon, 2015. Hagar named God El-roi. What would you name God?

Sure we’re big at TPA on helping you figure out what God is calling you to, and doing that in community. But we’re also big on process - the journey. We appreciate the tension between walking in your purpose and the integrity of simply living out love wherever we go!

So about those biblical texts that Paul supposedly wrote that are against women in church and other leadership…it matters who’s speaking/writing, their perspective, and their context. The Bible and our interactions with it become so much more rich when we don’t need them to fit into little boxes!
