Daily Office readings for 08/09/05

Mark 10:1-16 (NRSV)

6But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female." 7"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8and the two shall become one flesh." So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.'

That about says it all, don't you think. This passage creates a problem for many on the extreme left. First of all it mentions creation by God, not very PC. Then it mentions male and female, not very PC either.

What God has joined together, let no one separate. What God has not joined together, let no one else do so.
