Comments on: A betrayal of Jesus http://lilianbarger.com/blog/2007-05-09T11:16:30Z An idea lab about life, culture and faith Sat, 12 Jun 2010 15:06:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Lori http://lilianbarger.com/blog/2007-05-09T11:16:30Z/comment-page-1#comment-1470 Lori Tue, 07 Aug 2007 05:10:35 +0000 http://lilianbarger.com/blog/2007-05-09T11:16:30Z#comment-1470 Thank you for the link. Thank you for your books. At 47 years of age I have been having a crisis of faith, after being told, not for the first time, that women can't be teachers/preachers/leaders because they sinned first. The church and my family have been my whole life. I have researched other faiths and even the goddess movement - all felt wrong for me. Your book, Chasing Sophia, has given me hope that as a woman my only choices are not to live as a second-class church member or seek another path entirely. I see myself as loved of God now, important to His work in the world and worthy of his sacrifice for me. Thank you for the link. Thank you for your books.

The kind of Christianity I grew up in told me that everything about women (about me!) was untrustworthy. Emotions couldnt be trusted, and women were too emotional. I am so grateful that there are other kinds of Christianity to follow. I can relate so much to that quote.
