 My faith taught me to care about more than just one issue, feminism or racism or homophobia or xenophobia. My faith taught me to care about community, creation, humanity, beauty. I am part of this messy community we call church. They don't look or sound like me, half Japanese and half white Jewish, Gen Xer, queer church bureaucrat with a multi-lingual, multi-racial, multi-religious family. I will never be like the people I serve. I'm okay with that. I didn't answer the call into ministry to be comfortable. With this community it is more than just me working to heal creation. Love and mend humanity give everyone a chance to glimpse beauty. This is what a feminist looks like. This is what a Christian looks like.
