  • Responsively Yours: The Eye of the Beholder by Harriett Jane Olson
    05/01/2013 To have a “God’s eye view” that is premised on love and equity is challenging because we have not seen it. Let’s probe and question and make way for our hope in God’s good purposes to guide our thinking.

  • Puntos de Vista by /por Harriett Jane Olson
    05/01/2013 Algunas veces creo que necesito espejuelos nuevos.

  • Un Mandato para Cumplir by /por Harriett Jane Olson
    04/01/2013 Algunas veces, durante un bautismo o una renovación de votos en la iglesia, pienso que el lenguaje que se utiliza en este pacto es sorprendente: "¿Renuncias realmente a las fuerzas espirituales de la debilidad, rechazas los poderes del mal de este mundo y te arrepientes de tus pecados?" ¡Estos no son desafíos a los que nos enfrentamos todos los días! Por ejemplo, si usted trabaja en Google y escucha constantemente el mensaje: "No seas malvado", estas promesas podrían llegar a ser triviales, pero para mí no lo son. He vivido muy de cerca la lucha para resistir al mal cuando encuentro individuos atrapados por adicciones que no reciben ninguna ayuda, o veo a mujeres que son definidas como demonios por la cultura popular, o cuando visito comunidades que están sufriendo una pobreza extrema. Pero en realidad, estas situaciones no reflejan la forma en que tomo mis decisiones diarias.
  • Responsively Yours: A Charge to Keep by Harriett Jane Olson
    04/01/2013 Sometimes at church during a baptism or a renewal of our vows, I find the language of this covenant startling: “Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness, reject the evil powers of this world and repent of your sin?” Wow. Those are not challenges you hear every day! If you work at Google and hear the mantra, “Don’t be evil,” on a regular basis, these commitments could appear mundane, but they aren’t mundane for me. I’ve had a profound sense of the struggle to resist evil during encounters with individuals stuck in addictions without help, or seeing women demonized in popular culture, or when visiting communities suffering in extreme poverty. But usually, that’s not the way I see my daily choices.

Sometimes at church during a baptism or a renewal of our vows, I find the language of this covenant startling: “Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness, reject the evil powers of this world and repent of your sin?” Wow.
