When Lament is Liberation: A Sermon for Advent One

Dec 3, 2017

“Lament is the power of truth that makes the powerful tremble and gives the powerless strength.”

A powerful sermon amplifying the voices of women lamenting the abuse and subjugation experienced by women through the ages – and calling the church to break its silent complicity in the creation of a culture that dehumanizes women.

For further reading, see the work of the Reverend Dr. Wil Gaffney and her "Womanist Midrash: A Reintroduction to the Women of the Torah and the Throne": http://www.wilgafney.com/
