Esther and Saint Jerome
“Here’s the thing: Reconciliation can’t happen when one party is still in pain.”
“Here’s the thing: Reconciliation can’t happen when one party is still in pain.”
In the church I grew up in I was encouraged to not just learn rote scripture or memorize what a passage was ‘supposed to mean’ but to actively engage with the classic three-legged stool of episcopalian metaphor, and the teachers I had worked hard to engage us where we were. Ultimately, this reinforced my understanding that learning in general was a Good Thing.
