“As a Christian, my highest calling is not motherhood; my highest calling is to follow Christ.”
Rachel Held Evans, A Year of Biblical Womanhood

Rachel Held Evans
“Some rabbis say that, at birth, we are each tied to God with a string, and that every time we sin, the string breaks. To those who repent of their sins, especially in the days of Rosh Hashanah, God sends the angel Gabriel to make knots in the string, so that the humble and contrite are once again tied to God. Because each one of us fails, because we all lose our way on the path to righteousness from time to time, our strings are full of knots. But, the rabbis like to say, a string with many knots is shorter than one without knots. So the person with many sins but a humble heart is closer to God.”
Rachel Held Evans, A Year of Biblical Womanhood

Rachel Held Evans
“I’ve watched congregations devote years and years to heated arguments about whether a female missionary should be allowed to share about her ministry on a Sunday morning, whether students older than ten should have female Sunday school teachers, whether girls should be encouraged to attend seminary, whether women should be permitted to collect the offering or write the church newsletter or make an announcement . . . all while thirty thousand children die every day from preventable disease. If that’s not an adventure in missing the point, I don’t know what is.”

Heather You have a couple of book on your list with studies set in Neckarhausen. I don't pick up this kind of book too often, but I have ancestors from that town, so I would love to peruse them. I'll have to ask my library to get them for me. :)
