New Testament Encounters with Jesus:
“And Also Some Women”
From the beginning of Jesus’ life, throughout his ministry, at his Crucifixion and Resurrection, women were not just present but central: swift in response, steadfast in support, courageous in witness—“first at the Cradle and the last at the Cross” (as Dorothy Sayers put it).
The scriptural witness to these—often nameless—women is a rich resource for our study and reflection. These women whom Jesus touched and called and sent can be powerful companions on our own journeys—as Jesus ever more deeply heals and calls and sends us, too.
Join us as we explore these women’s stories and listen for the ways God is telling us our own.
