Last Sunday, we looked at Jesus' radical relationships with Martha and Mary; two women who knew him well and were considered disciples by the other insiders of the group. Jesus stayed at Martha's house (inconceivable for a Jewish rabbi); while Mary sat at his feet (Bible speak for an official disciple). Jesus valued women and their contributions much more than many people do today, including people within the faith community. As the young Pakistani woman said to the folks at the United Nations, people with closed minds are frightened by girls with books. Let's get more books into the hands of curious girls.
