Secret Women's Business

I write a lot about women in ministry (because I am one), but also about random things that interest me: coaching, science, theology, parenting, the quest for truth, things I think are funny. I hope you find something interesting here!

Kylie Orr Blog - Part One

December 05, 2009

Actually, I’m one of those really odd Christians who likes to read through the bible. All of it (except maybe for some of those genealogies... that’s a bit of a stretch. I don’t think skimming over those bits should be regarded as cheating). I have been reminded of this passage over the past couple of days as debate has raged over the U.S. election on Alan Hirsch’s blog, a fascinating glimpse into the passionate and divisive world of American politics. I’ve been reminded of this passage because it is the closest thing to an abortion in the biblical record. (ripping babies out of the wombs of mothers would cause the death of mothers in a world without surgery or antibiotics, so I don’t th...

Janet Woodlock: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; I work for Kilvington Grammar School as chaplain and Religious Education teacher. I also work for the Christian Coaching Institute as a trainer and life coach. I am on the Board of Global Mission Partners. I have two fantastic sons and one amazing husband. I like good chocolate, blue skies, having a laugh, talking with friends, singing, dancing badly, and helping people find their vocations. I was once the "official coach" for a successful English Channel swimmer. I have climbed Kosiosko, Killamanjaro, and the Mount of Olives. I love to encourage people to do whatever makes them come "fully alive".
