[Apologetics] Experiencing the Goddess Rosary

[Stephen Korsman]

Hi

Experiencing the Goddess Rosary  by Dalyn Cook

The banner on the outside of Ebenezer Lutheran Church boldly proclaims "Goddess Rosary Every Wednesday 7 p.m." Doubtless this precipitates questions in the minds of passers-by: a rosary at a Lutheran church? A feminist take on a ritual indigenous to a denomination with an especially strong patriarchal foundation? I was eager to experience this new phenomenon, and it was with open mind and heart that I entered Ebenezer on my first Wednesday evening in the City. Thought the church was empty, I felt that I had stepped into a Presence, like a mother's warm embrace. The attendees were few in number, yet there was a sense of fullness in this welcoming space. I inhaled deeply the earthy scent of the incense, sending up delicate tendrils of smoke which curled around the altar in a nimbus visible against the warm rays of the evening sun filtering through the stained-glass windows.
