Thanks, something for me to look forward to on sunday afternoon 🙂
thank you….enjoy!
And ivery much enjoyed it. You were very passionate and inspiriing on several core topics. Yes why do we hate – we do church badly, this is my personal experience. The Me Too campaign – yes, I see that opening up in the church because I have spoken to so many women who have been sexually assualted. The whole race issue – yes we have a long way to go. So many connecting points for me, so much resonance. I think in the end we have all been colonised by the power model of church, and it is so entrenched some can’t even see it. So much to chew on and reflect on. Thank you.
thanks so much for your kind comment. I am glad that you enjoyed it. There was so much to cover during the podcast. Many thanks for your kindness.
