Thanks for speaking about the impact of man-language on our picture of the sacredness of the female, Amelia. I'm so pleased that the NBS Canada festival workshop gave you food for reflection.

... and now about that "Son of Man" thing... 🥰

I'm guessing that the lectionary for this coming Sunday starts this story in the middle so as to highlight the connection to the Numbers reading from the Hebrew Scripture. However, I appreciate your reminder that the story makes no sense without the whole context, and we cannot assume every hearer is familiar with the story. I'm rethinking how ill tell this on Sunday in worship. Many thanks!
