You Go GRRL! The Rev. Sarah Heath Is My Hero Today (and Most Days, Actually)

I am so proud of Sarah Heath.

I am proud of and endlessly grateful for the friend we call “Mini Rev” all the time, really, but particularly so today.

Sarah contributed a chapter to Disquiet Time where she addresses scripture often used to argue against the ordination of women. Sarah is, if you already weren’t aware, an ordained United Methodist minister and pastor. And she’s a great one at that.

Frankly, Sarah has one of the most obvious pastoral gifts I’ve ever encountered (and I’ve gone to church for a living for the last 20 years or so.) She has a gift and she uses it with amazing grace, joy, and artistry.

This past Sunday, someone decided to lash out at her by posting an ersatz “theses” to the front door of the church she shepherds, castigating her and denouncing her flock as “apostate” for having a woman lead it.

You go GRRL!
