Today is the day of what I personally call my #RapeSermon. #TrackOne of the #Lectionary gives us #DavidAndBathsheba …. Where #KingDavid stays at home instead of leading his troops to war, spies on #Bathsheba from the safety of his rooftop, brings her to his home by fiat, impregnates her, orders her husband killed, then makes her his wife. #BiblicalFamilyValues right there.
Will be addressing the fact that not all men are predators or behave badly, but #AllWomen have a story about men behaving badly.
Doing what I can to make #Church a #SafeSpace for all people, especially the vulnerable, while not tolerating bad, abusive behavior.
