About

This blog is meant to be a space to explore the diversity of opinions represented in the religious world (Specifically Christianity). For the Unnamed Women refers to the many silent and unnamed characters present in the Bible, as well as to the many people in our world who often don't get their side of the story heard. This is NOT a space to point fingers but to gather together, hand in hand, to make this world and the Christian community a more loving, accepting space.

I am ready to fight

I am angry. 

In silent frustration

we hold our breath

waiting for someone else 

to make the first move. 

We ask for change 

but point fingers 

at the other guy. 

She looks ready

but I'm too afraid. 

"It's complicated"

we say. 

But their voices 

still shout, 

they build walls 

and borders 

and we get 

locked in 

as accomplices. 

But no more. 

Its time to fight 

with hearts 

and open arms. 

Fling the doors 

wide open 

start the parade

We'll fight for love 

because love 

is worth fighting for 

without guns 

or weapons 

we will stand up 

for those 

crushed beneath 

the screams and silences 

of those 

who say 

You are not in. 

Welcome into this place...
