I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your translations like this. The short introduction is also particularly helpful.

(Btw in footnote 15, I think the transliteration of προσκαρτερεῖ has an extra “a” in the middle of it.)

Same for me on that last bit. Though my semi-professional RSCM choir in the ‘90s was the first place I first understood systemic sexism. The girls’ choir was paid way less, got the “less good” performance opportunities, etc.

Unity is a really convenient weapon for getting/keeping marginalized groups in line.

This would have been a nearly impossible task for even the most traditional of the candidates.

Nothing is impossible with God, though, so I'm praying for her and for all of us.

Canons Rose would be a good band name too.

Just thinking about this pattern today for no particular reason. 🙃

Praying fervently for our new ABC. 🕯️

Even the big mix of teeny tiny pieces that *definitely do* fit together is nightmare enough for me.
