For a long time, men have enjoyed a mountain of privilege while women have been relegated to the valleys. But in the Kingdom of God, those who are elevated must surrender their privilege and lift up those who are low. This is why equality matters to me. This is what I invite when I pray, “Thy Kingdom Come on Earth as it is in Heaven.” At the heart of my faith practice is Jesus’ teaching that I am to love my neighbor as myself. How can I love another as myself if I hold tightly to privileges they cannot enjoy? Doesn’t love seek the good of others? Doesn’t love lay down its life for its friends? And so, it wasn’t a women’s studies class or intersectional theory that made me a feminist, but those simple, familiar words from the ancient holy Text: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” redemptionpictures/2013/11/20/how-i-became-a-jesus-feminist/
