Sunday Message: Women, keep silent in Church!” (1st Cor 14:34) Oh my…
I have had the hardest time with Paul over the years. I think, like many of us, when I disagreed with Paul, I just ignored him. I was never comfortable with this solution but when I first encountered Paul in the early 70’s his was just one more voice that did not ring true as the “Good News” Jesus was proclaiming. Over the years I have tried to understand Paul in the context of his life and all that he brings to the work of shaping the early church. I guess in the process I have opened my heart to Paul and the sensitive work he was doing in his own life as he sought to be a faithful teacher of The Way of Jesus. For the next couple of Sundays I will ask you to join me in my quest to be faithful to scripture and seek to understand more of what was going on in the journey of Paul after his encounter with the risen Jesus. As you might expect, I have created a new diagram (a pie with 6 pieces) to help us see all the things that shaped Paul’s wisdom as he helped shape the new church. I look forward to working through some hard text from Paul and some good conversations. Let’s grow together! Blessings and Love, Karl
