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.

An Original Song

*If you would like to use this song in any worship or musical setting please contact me! 




All Are Welcome
(to be sung to the tune of “It is well with my soul/when Peace Like A River/Ville Du Havre”)
Lyrics By Allysa De Wolf

When others are left standing outside church’s doors
The trees will start bending their leaves
And create a sanctuary where all can sing and pray:
“All are welcome in God’s house today”

Refrain:
Come in (to this place).
No Doors here (to displace).
All are welcome in God’s house today.

The bird’s hum along as God’s people join in song,
Baptized in God’s tears from above.
The sun parts the clouds and the angels do shout
“All are welcome in God’s house today”

The flowers reply as the wind preaches life
For all God’s children through Christ.
Where two or more gather, God is there
To welcome all God’s people in this space!


Here is an amazing version of the original: 
By Mahalia Jackson
