Jesus said of the woman who anointed him with oil that wherever the gospel was preached her deed would be remembered “in memory of her.” So it was. We remember her deed and even the names of the men who reproved her. But not her name. Given the erasure of women from the gospels

...how can we trust that we have followed Jesus’ intentions with respect to women’s roles? For centuries Mary Magdalene was labeled a prostitute, due to the error of Pope St Gregory the Great. Now she is deemed “Apostle to the Apostles.” Come Holy Spirit!

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
