Today, July 29th, is a special day for the Episcopal Church, and in particular Episcopal women. It is the shared feast day of Martha and Mary of Bethany and the commemoration of the first ordination of women to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church.
Like many stories from scripture, my understanding of and ability to relate to Mary and Martha evolves over time, changing with the course of my life and what roles I’m filling.
What happens when a youth group reads the Book of John for The Good Book Club? It’s hectic, chaotic, and perfect.
As a dad of two daughters, I have a lot of feelings about today’s feast day for Mary and Martha of Bethany.
