Edwina sandys biography of martin luther
•
We are now nearing an end-game with the Senate hearings for Judge Kavanaugh. However it turns out, the impact will be jarring, and so I was most blessed to hear the following poetic reflection from a student at my seminary – MaijaMikkelsen – taking Paul’s body metaphor in 1 Corinthians 12-26 as her inspiration. So as the country prepares for what is to come, please read this poem, share this poem, and know that you are deeply and fully loved by God.
Rev. Dr. Linda E. Thomas – Professor of Theology and Anthropology, Chair of the LSTC’s Diversity Committee, Editor – “We Talk. We Listen.”
This is a love letter to Miriam, who led her people out of exile in Egypt.
This is a love letter to Ruth and Naomi, who cling one another in great devotion.
This is a love letter to Esther, who risked her life for a moment such as this.
This is a love letter to my mothers, my sisters, my aunts.
To my nieces, who are just getting started in this world.
To my friends and my neighbors and my classmates and my colleagues.
You, strong and resilient women and femmes,
who grasp each other tightly against the toxicity of this world.
You, who were all created in the image of God,
who makes all things, and sees that they are good.

The sculpture, entitled Christa, has created controversy wherever she is displayed. Critics say the statue defies the historical fact that Jesus was a man. Some viewers feel that the symbol of the cross is degraded or even blasphemed by a Christ in female form. Others are disturbed by the sexual overtones of the naked woman. Some people are troubled by yet another violent image of female suffering. A few people see in the sculpture the message that the death of Jesus symbolizes the pain of all human suffering. The response to [this image] reveals various theological assumptions. Some people dismiss…the sculpture because they are literally false. Jesus was a man. End of discussion. Other people consider these images offensive and uncomfortable. It insults Jesus, and them as well, to think of him as a woman. These imaginative reconstructions of important events in the life of Jesus pose an important theological question: What difference does it make that Jesus was male? Have at it.
