Rooted & Faithful Posts for 1-19-2014

I’m going to start curating a set of “Rooted and Faithful” posts that I consider to be the most important for the week.

I’ve been reading lots about women’s issues this week because of the series of posts that I’ve been writing. So this week all of the posts are about women’s ministry and one about trafficking. This post is a great post about an ecumenical gathering where Cardinal O’Malley displayed great humility by receiving a blessing from a United Methodist pastor: Rev. Anne Robertson And Cardinal Sean O’Malley’s Moving Photo Sends Shock Waves Through Internet

This post gives some good practical advice for dealing with the most quoted verse pertaining to women’s leadership. The title is as good as the post: Defusing the I Timothy 2:12 Bomb
