When I was a graduate student, Idreadedtakingthenecessarycourse on Paul because I thought he was sexist and caught in the first

century, endorsing slavery and women’s subordina- tion. Then I discovered in the courses, that those are precisely the letters that Paul did not write! Instead we see the Apostle with women friends and leaders and married couples on whom he counted! Together we will share a retreat with St. Paul and be inspired by his love of Christ and longing to reach out to everyone in the world in Christs’ name.
