What’s a feminist take on this pastoral epistle?
Collects, the brief prayers usually heard at the beginning of a service are short statements packed with a lot of meaning and purpose for God’s people.
I am trying so very hard to live out this statement – to not mind what happens to me. Some days hold more successes than others.
“God never sends a prophet when things are going good. Have you noticed that? It’s only when the kingdom is in peril, when all is about to be lost. To us, in the moment of desolation it may seem as if all is already lost. It may seem that way for a long time. But, if God sends a prophet then there is hope. Prophets are God’s way of saying that She has not given up, even if we have.”
