Enjoyed Why I Am Protestant, author @bethfelkerjones.bsky.social. Lots of good stuff in it, an honest and loving instruction on the Protestant church, and the universal church.
Among other lessons, what I learned from it helps me find more grace in my spirit for the church, if that makes sense.
Thanks, I'm so glad!
Friends,
I'm excited that my new writing retreat in workbook form is out in the world. Let me know what you create with it.

Mary’s ‘yes’ was not a footnote. It was God honoring a woman’s consent so fully that salvation Himself waited upon it. Patriarchy calls consent optional. God calls it sacred.

I was thinking about Coakley's "hunt the pigeon," and I started imagining the Holy Spirit, still depicted as a dove, but as a dove fierce enough to drive off sin and evil.
I had fun working up this design. It's available in two colors at my Redbubble shop.

the best stuff! :)
