Reflections
If you think I am faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my house The Early Church expanded tremendously through the grace of the Spirit but also through the work of Paul and the other missionaries that proclaimed the Gospel and won converts, one individual or one household at a time. Many women were drawn to Jesus’ Gospel perhaps because of its insistence on inclusivity and gender equality, a stark contrast to their paternalistic culture. Today, we have to ask ourselves whether we witness to inclusivity and gender equality or dilute the original Gospel message by our exclusion of others and suppression of the voices of women and those in the peripheries.
