Comments on: Women, pizza delivery and the church http://erika.haub.net/women-pizza-delivery-and-the-church/04/ Erika Carney Haub's musings on life and God from South Central, L.A. Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:52:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Peggy http://erika.haub.net/women-pizza-delivery-and-the-church/04/#comment-26586 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 17:10:12 +0000 http://erika.haub.net/women-pizza-delivery-and-the-church/04/#comment-26586 Erica, I came to visit from Scot's blog about your visit...and to resonate with the sisters who are also in the margins... My story has changed significantly over the past 30 years, but it is important to see the wonderful men God has brought to me to undergird his call. The really sad thing has been the number of women who are threatened by women in leadership. I have experienced this both in industry and in the church. Be blessed. Erica,

And why we do that to each other, in the church and outside of it, does feel like a mystery. Though I am afraid that it is a reflection of how eager we are to have some form of power over another; and that desperation drives us to some pretty stupid things. Kent,

Why a business would treat you this way is mystery. Why we in the church treat people as if they are of lesser worth is a mytery to me. Why we do this when we hurt ourselves in the process. Why can't we see how much there is to gain in allowing people, all people to use their gifts and passions? Why deny someone who is trying to buy from you because they are someone you do not respect? It makes no sense. None at all. Keep it up. Don't every give up. I am amazed at how shortsighted we can be. Why a business would treat you this way is mystery.

I read it this morning (EST) and it stayed with me all day. My story is much more similar to yours instead of Erika's, and I too would like to thank you for your raw honesty. It made me feel less alone today, and that was a gift. Erika, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your class. Safe travels, and I hope you revisit the topic.

I fear that yours is the more common story...and that makes my heart ache. May God bless you in your continued journey of discovering who your Creator has made you to be. Cynthia,

Especially in reference to the church. That is also one of the reasons why I am so happy that you will be the officiant of our wedding. Stories like this need to be told.

I can hardly talk about my spiritual journey on my blog ... just bits and pieces, vague references. Thank you for speaking out, for being a voice for those of us who haven't found our own yet.
