From Bret Re: [Apologetics] TIME: Hail, Mary. Protestants are finding their own reasons to celebrate the mother of Jesus

[Dianne Dawson]

To repeat a quote I have heard before: "If she's good enough for Jesus then she should be good enough for us."

When many of the "reformers" threw out Mary, they left a big hole. Time Magazine's staff probably has no clue about the Eastern Orthodox, but as we know, the Eastern Orthodox deeply love and treasure Mary. In fact, some of their devotions to her are some of the most beautiful things written.

But then again, I've had a soft spot for Mary for quite some time!

The cover story of the March 21st Time Magazine has a
painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the title,
"Hail, Mary. Catholics have long revered her, but now
Protestants are finding their own reasons to celebrate
the mother of Jesus."

The article, 4,461 words in length, is very good.

I believe this issue of Time is no longer on the
newstands, but it should be easily available to read
or copy at virtually any library.

Interestingly, in an on-line poll, Time asked if the
Virgin Mary should be given greater emphasis in
Protestant theology. The results at

were:

Yes 44.5%
No 51.3%
Don't Know 4.1%
