Uprooted: A Reflection on the Lectionary in Light of Current Events

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 6:14 am By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

“They wanted to put down roots,” my priest said, referring to the Israelites wandering in the desert, and suddenly it all made sense. My eyes had glazed over the litany of fruits and vegetables for which the wandering Israelites cried out, their tongues parched from years of manna as on and on they journeyed from one life to another… but now my eyes were opened, and I saw… The Israelites were not just longing for new tastes… they wanted identity....

Judge Kavanaugh, Women’s Empowerment, And Restorative Justice

Last updated on: September 30, 2018 at 8:19 pm By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

I did not want to write about Judge Kavanaugh. There are many reasons, but two stand out among the others. The first is that I recognize how significant his nomination is and his potential appointment to the Supreme Court would be, and I neither want to understate that significance nor overstate it and scapegoat him.

Bert And Ernie Need Not Be Officially Gay. But Someone On Sesame Street Should Be.

Last updated on: September 21, 2018 at 8:24 am By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

It’s about time Sesame Street, a children’s show with a reputation for teaching compassion and inclusion, added recurring gay characters to their long roster. Bert and Ernie just don’t cut it. This is not to say that I don’t appreciate the undeniably adorable odd couple that has been a core part of the show since its inception. Bert and Ernie are an iconic duo by any standards, and this pair is, without a doubt, a wonderful model of love and... Read more
