I hope and pray you enjoyed our Theologian in Residence, Dr. Marcia Mount Shoop.
In so many ways, we are a richer congregation for her being with us. Last weekend, Samuel Freedman from the New York Times was with us, following Marcia, speaking with her, and listening to her theology of incarnation and divine embodiment.
His article about Marcia was published today. Here is a link if you are interested, and the title suggests the angle he take and the testimony that Marcia gives:
A Rape Survivor Now Ministers Body and Soul
Thanks to Marcia for sharing with us and inspiring us to find the spirit and see the Lord in some new ways.
Thanks to Mr. Freedman for telling a part of her story well - may others finds the redemption and power and renewal that Marcia has found.
From the point of Oberlin and MacDonald,
