A PARABLE OF TWO FEMINISTS

       

                Luke 18:9-14  (adapted)

Behold, one Sunday morning two Mormon feminists went up to the meetinghouse to pray. 

As the Sacrament hymn began to play, one of them cast her eyes up to heaven and said, “Lord, I thank thee that I am not like other members of this ward—racist, sexist, stuck in their traditions and mostly (Re)publicans.  I listen to NPR, I contribute to just causes and I read all relevant blogs twice a week.”

But during the same hymn, the other Mormon feminist bowed her head and said, “O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me."

I ask you, which of these went back to her home blessed by the Holy Spirit and filled with the love of Christ?
