Hearing the Voices of Women in Scripture

The Rev. Winnie Varghese, priest for Justice and Reconciliation at Trinity Church Wall Street, is the featured preacher in the annual summer education program at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York state during the week of August 19-24. At the worship service on Sunday August 19, Varghese chose a scripture generally used only in Advent or at the Feast of the Annunciation to encourage us to lift the voices of women, voices that are included in the Bible, but often not in the liturgies of organized religion. (Home Page photo: Riley Robinson/The Chautauquan Daily)
