    Knowing Introductions First impressions Background on Other Feminisms and Leah Sargeant Reading How is the newsletter structured? What sort of community and what sort of thought does that structure encourage? Why might it be valuable to expand the scope of feminism as most people define it to include issues of life and euthanasia? Same question, but for the boyhood issues raised in the education issue. One of the things that made me a paid subscriber is how Sargeant incorporates past reader comments into future issues. Were there any particular comments that stood out to you as thought-provoking? Passing On Alexis: Aging with Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture ; For the Children’s Sake (also AmblesideOnline or Charlotte Mason’s 6-volume set) Sarah: Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary by Brant Pitre Victoria: Building the Benedict Option by Leah Sargeant Related Episodes: #128, Invisible Women

    Victoria Reynolds Farmer, Kayla Beth Moore, and Christina Bieber Lake talk about the devotional practice of lectio divina. Knowing What is lectio divina? https://www.usccb.org/bible/national-bible-week/upload/lectio-divina.pdf What are our experiences with this form of interpretation? How has it helped us think differently about Biblical texts or our own religious practices? Reading We will perform a lectio divina reading of a Biblical passage and discuss it afterwards. We encourage our listeners to use your Bibles along with us. Passage: James 4:13-17 (New American but feel free to use your own) 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we shall go into such and such a town, spend a year there doing business, and make a profit”— 14 you have no idea what your life will be like tomorrow.* You are a puff of smoke that appears briefly and then disappears. 15 Instead you should say, “If the Lord wills it,* we shall live to do this or that.” 16 But now you are boasting in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, it is a sin. Reflection: What did we notice that we wouldn’t have through just reading alone? What did we learn from each other’s perspectives and observations? How can we bring lessons from this kind of reading and observing to other parts of our spiritual lives? Passing On Christina: M. Basil Pennington, Lectio Divina: Renewing the Ancient Practice of Teaching the Scriptures KB: Son of Laughter by Frederick Buechner Victoria: Daily Lectio Divina podcast by Sharon Garlough Brown
