Never On Sunday: a Look At the Women Not in the Lectionary (sisters in Scripture)

People in the pews are becoming increasingly aware that significant stories of women are missing from our Sunday Readings--stories that we will hear NEVER ON SUNDAY. This scripture study invites us to look at these stories on the cutting room floor, those left behind when the lectionary was compiled. Collectively, they represent a significant portion of biblical women. Their life stores, circumstances, and witness of faith will never be read aloud on a Sunday or developed in the homily. By retrieving these pieces we reclaim an important part of our heritage as daughters and sons of the living God and followers of Jesus Christ. The names and stories of these women, Jochebed through Junia, deserve to be heard and told.
