Genesis proclaims we are all created in the Divine image. However, ALL is all too often interpreted to mean primarily men. Sunday's Gathering will highlight the particular history and gifts females bring to the world and examine what's so scary about that. Why is there so much effort made to silence and de-power females? This topic is particularly timely as violence against females is in the news across the world; examples include: the US Senate continues debating renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, India wrestles with sexual crimes against women, and Pakistani school girl Malala Yousafzai continues her journey of recovery. Nancy, Ann, and Karen are co-planners and leaders this week. We will explore history, theology, language, and art, and our offering will be designated to help with the upcoming One Billion Rising event.
