[Sundaycommunity] NOT KNOWING TOO MUCH

[Catherine Cavanagh]

Hi Brian
I know you mean well but I have to tell you that I find this offensive and
do not wish to read more of it.  Women have for generations been viewed
through the lens of misrepresentations of Eve/Mary that have led to much
suffering and mistreatment.  Mary did not 'obey' God, she chose God.  I
believe firmly that God calls us all to seek freedom and happiness as
opposed to mindless obedience and servile suffering.

I won't go into it further but may I suggest that you invite those people
who are interested in these postings to email you privately and you can
create a separate email list just for this?  Either way please ensure that
I am not included in any further emails with this stuff.  I thank you.

Peace,
Catherine
