Proverbs 31 Man: What I Discovered by Switching Genders in the Bible

Last updated on: February 6, 2014 at 10:27 am By Andrew Marin

Do God’s instructions transcend the cultural contexts in which they were originally issued, or simply further illustrate the foreignness of those contexts from my own modern sensibilities? The answer, of course, is yes. Yes to both. Read more

The following post is by Jason Bilbrey, our Director of Pastoral Care here at The Marin Foundation. You can read more from Jason at his blog, www.jasonbilbrey.com “Discomfort over disengagement.” I penned those words last summer as I was developing the Culture War Curriculum for the Continuing Education Classes we offer here at The Marin Foundation. It was one of seven values I proposed for peaceful and constructive engagement across opposing world views. And it sounded really good. “Our tendency is... Read more

Top 13 Books of 2013

Last updated on: January 24, 2014 at 11:43 am By Andrew Marin

For what has become my favorite annual competition, five years ago a group of friends and I created a book reading competition–victory trophy and all. In the calendar year, our competition tracks the total number of books completed and the total number of pages in those completed books. I didn’t start ranking the books I read until a few years ago (you can see my year-to-year rankings here, here, and here). The only qualification is that the book didn’t need... Read more

The Five Stages of Grief for Parents of LGBT Children

Last updated on: January 15, 2014 at 1:13 pm By Andrew Marin

In my time at The Marin Foundation, I've talked to many, many parents about the series of conversations that these words spark, like the pistol shot that signals the beginning of a grueling marathon. And the two phrases that I hear most often are these: "it felt like my world had been flipped upside-down" and "it felt like a death in the family." I think these statements speak to the fact that it's a grieving process. Parents often feel a very real sense of pain and loss when their children come out to them. And that makes sense. Read more

Go and Sin No More

Last updated on: January 15, 2014 at 9:00 am By Andrew Marin

Jesus did say, “Go and sin no more.” The often forgotten fact is that it was only Jesus who said that, prefacing it with “Ye without sin, cast the first stone.” In a story that is all about not throwing stones because we are all sinners, we’ve identified with God. No wonder we are missing the point! It wasn’t until everyone else left that Jesus privately spoke with the woman and said, “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” Our human tendencies make us want to be that seminarian student, standing up to condemn each other. But that is not the model Christ left for us. We must leave room for the Holy Spirit to do Its job. The model that was left for us is one of reconciliation, not condemnation. Read more
