"The Christian life for both men and women is about service - service of God and service of others. The bible is amazingly non-prescriptive about the specifics of what that looks like. How we serve will depend on the situations in which we are placed, our gifts, our personalities, our frailties... As women, it is likely that throughout our lives, we will serve in many different ways. My service may take quite a different shape than yours does, and that is to be expected." sar
This will go on some NTE strand material. What do you think? Do I sound liberal? Conservative? Fundy? Biblical?
Sounds good to me - and, I might add, like you won't fall into the 'familiar paths' trap you mentioned a couple of days back with Gen 1-2.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a team coming from NTE to our parish. Some of them will go to Gerringong, and do lots of youth stuff. Down at this end, we have nobody between 10 and 35. The same team, coming from the same context, will have markedly different service, and nobody's going to think that's a mark of being liberal!
Sounds fine to me.
