A Blog is Born!


Welcome to Team Shiphrah’s blog, another subversive woman of faith documenting her experiments with truth on the worldwide web. Practically, I hope that this blog will connect churches and communities of faith with Christianity and Social Justice, starting first with my upcoming trip to Palestine and Israel with Christian Peacemaker Team.

But first a blog blessing:

Holy God,
Please bless this space and the experiments with truth documented here.
Please bless the writers and the readers.
May we abide by the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) in our comments and emails.
Protect this blog from the sins of self-importance, pretention, poor grammar, and boring irrelevance.
May the words of my keyboard and the meditations of our readers be acceptable in your sight.
Amen

  4. I could almost smell the incense and feel the breeze as you described them. And just as people experience the breeze and incense, we have political and spiritual breezes that wash over us when we are in difference circumstances and difference environments that affect us and call us to assess who we are and what we are called to do. Hopefully it makes us more dependent on God to guide us in our actions and responses.
