This reading requires deep thinking. It has always been my problem with religion, that many texts are written during or for the times in history that are not as relevant today. My sister is an Anglican Priest and I struggle to be in the language that does not relate to my life or context of today. I literally cringe and have to deepen my connection with God (that is not attached to religion) while I sit amongst the worthy people in her church, feeling like an imposter. I’m not a follower of any rules made in the past. I am for humans having a human experience, and always wonder how I can make a difference. Every story and context is unique. Every culture suffers their past and informs the current feeling tone of that community. I try to be respectful of the past but work with the present moment of all that is my current reality.
