​Luke tells us that Jesus’ "Parable of the Persistent Widow (and the Unjust Judge)" is really about the need to “pray without ceasing,” not about a woman who complains without ceasing until even the unjust system that “neither fears God nor respects people” finally gives her what she needs. With the help of scholar and theologian Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, we’ll peel back the layers of spiritualization (and man-splaining) to liberate the woman at the heart of this story and see what she has to say to us today, not just about prayer but about persistence and power. (Luke 18:1-8)

Sometimes It Really Shouldn't Go Without Saying
11/16 @ 10am, LIVE! on-site & online via Zoom
at http://zoom.us/j/907548568

Many of us were raised with the unspoken rule that polite people should never talk about sex, politics, and religion in public. So when we hear the non-stop God-talk from our more conservative Christian neighbors, we shudder not just at the content–so contrary to our own beliefs in a loving, graceful, and liberating God–but also at the fact that they’re saying it all outloud. So what are we going to say in response? Because politeness is overrated when it comes to confronting injustice. Jesus reminds us that sometimes it really shouldn’t go without saying. (Luke 21:5-19)
