I find it interesting how easy it seemed at the time to sin and then be forgiven. It seems that many people at the time were committing sins right and left, yet as long as you confessed that what you had done was wrong you were forgiven. And then people like Joseph Hawley sinned multiple times. I always thought of that time period as being super religious and strict. But the Kathryn Kish Sklar reading my thoughts on that have definitely changed. It is almost as if the church was afraid of losing people. --Jennifer S. | I find it interesting how easy it seemed at the time to sin and then be forgiven.

| + | In this reading, I tried putting myself in the shoes of a wife or someone during that time, listening to this sermon. I found it somewhat contradictory. Wadsworth says the relationship should be mutual, but then says the husband is the head of the woman and the government of the household. The wife must submit to the husband. Obviously, this is a patriarchal society, and that was the thinking of it I guess. -Aqsa Z. | ||
