Sorry about the e-mail you all received from Blogger Support. I logged on and it said I wasn't a member of any blog, and I got confused. But it's all worked out now. One of the problems with having two Oberlin e-mail addresses is that I sometimes forget which one I'm using for different things.

I preached in church today, and I talked about how God loves bodies and all that. I even talked about Jesus' sexuality. I quoted you anonymously, Linden, as one response I had received when I talked about Jesus' sexuality (I quoted you as saying AAAAAAHHHH!).

I got a lot of comments like "That gave me a lot to think about" and "It's nice that you shook things up a little." I don't know whether or not they agreed with me, but they were at least proud and supportive. One person commented to my dad that "I guess Oberlin has really radicalized Kathryn." I took that as a compliment. I only had one person tell me that she disagreed with my proposition that Jesus was a sexual being (of course, more people might have thought it).

This was a very important step for me, because I really wrote this theology for my home church communities like First Baptist Madison and PCC. At the end of the day, they didn't even throw me out of church like Jesus' home church members did. I guess I'll have to try harder next time. :)
