The story of women recorded in the ancient sources simply cannot be understood at face
value since the texts were written by male leaders in emerging churches who had their
own interests to front and authority to assert and maintain. So it must be reconstructed
and reimagined carefully from what the ancient sources tell us and from what they don't."
As spiritual director of Brigids Place, which focuses on womens spiritual and personal
transformation, Adam agrees. Ive sought for years to shine the spotlight on the women
surrounding Jesus. Celebrating their stories is overdue, so Im glad we can bring a
presentation of such depth and beauty to the Houston area, and especially pleased to offer
it the day prior to Easter.
Brigids Places new Executive Director Lauren Santerre says, For those like me who
may struggle to with the complex meaning of the cross, Easter in Memory of Her draws
us into the universal experiences of all women such as love, loss, sorrow, identity,
meaning, longing, and ultimately hope. If you want to experience a different kind of
Easter, come join us at the cross this year for Easter in Memory of Her.
Becky Baxter, both a harpist and organist, and mezzo soprano Sonja Bruzauskas
composed the music and will provide accompaniment to the singers from the Houston
Chamber Choir.
The performance is free to the public. However, there are several opportunities to sponsor
the program and more information is available at
www.brigidsplace.org/easterinmemoryofher.
Brigid's Place is a 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Non-Profit Organization. Brigid's Place
provides education, dialogue and celebrations to foster women's spiritual and personal
transformation.
