"Was Jesus Sexist and Racist?" a radical Christian reflection from Stephen Lingwood. Mothering Sunday Sermon Gospel of Mark 7:24-30 From there Jesus set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, ‘Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.' But she answered him, ‘Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.' Then he said to her, ‘For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your daughter.' So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone. The Dhammapada (1-2) All that we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded on our thoughts. It is made up of our thoughts. If one speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows one, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the wagon. All that we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded on our thoughts. It is made up of our thoughts. If one speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows one, like a shadow that never leaves. Progressive Christian sermon.
