We are standing at the edge of Elliott Bay, laughing as we launch rocks into the cold waves of Puget Sound. We stagger and try not to impale each other as we flail uncoordinatedly, lobbing slippery stones with our left hands. We are both right handed.

What I think should be quite clear is this: I see the Bible as very important for the church. I also see the church as far more important than the Bible. It is a document of and for the church. If you are not a part of the Christian faith and/or you do not hold the Bible as important, then this discussion may not be for you.

In honor of the inspiring questions received at our January event on body image and gender issues we present this poem by Natalie Patterson. I came across Natalie in this video by Soul Pancake where she reads a version at the end of the video. IT ROCKED MY WORLD. If celebrating the beauty and gift of your body is an aspiration of yours, I recommend following Natalie’s daily ritual … I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BODY!            Dr. Tina
