Our task is to provide about it, and gets the profound reply, “You are real when you are friendship, forums for discussion on women’s status, information loved. When I was cuddled so much that I began to lose my skin, and Bible studies on women, written from a conservative then I knew that I was real.” perspective about the freedom Christ has given us in the Gospel. As women, many of us have found out how wonderful it is After penetrating evangelical churches with the liberating Good to be loved by our families. We agree with the skin horse that News, we have to go beyond the church and beyond our shores we are real when we are loved. But then we venture out beyond to women of other cultures who continue to live in some sort the shelter of our home and loved ones, and go to the edge of the of patriarchal bondage that makes them less than “real” human woods—into the male world—and we discover that we are not beings. What about the 500 million Muslim women who have not taken seriously. been set free by the Gospel, and therefore are not taken seriously? “But she’s not real. She’s not like us,” the rabbits in the woods As a missionary and as a Biblical feminist, I have to agree with shout. In the world of the Velveteen Rabbit, the Fairy Godmother Rose-Marie: “I am not free till every woman on earth is free.” comes on the scene and makes everything right, so that she gets the same hind legs as all the other rabbits in the woods.

There is no limited atonement for women, even though one popular radio pastor preaches one Gospel for men and another for women. We will always bear the sin of Eve, according to his teaching. Paul was prepared for such heresy when he wrote: “I am astonished to find you turning so quickly away from him who called you by grace, and following a different gospel. there are persons who unsettle your minds by trying to distort the gospel of Christ. But if anyone, if we ourselves or an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel at variance with the gospel we preached to you, he shall be held outcast.

To Daddy, for teaching me to box at a time when it was sacrilegious to strap a pair of boxing gloves on a little girl, and to the boys whose noses I broke – I am truly sorry.

Every night they haunt me, every morning I outrun them, and every evening they catch me again. One day they will devour my soul. But not today. Not this hour. I ran with Phobos and Trobos, the half wolves half dogs who guard Stranje House. We raced into the cleansing wind. What is the pace of forgetfulness? How fast must one go? “Tess! Wait!” Georgiana’s gasps cut through the peace of the predawn air and broke my rhythm. I slowed to a stop and turned. A moment later, Phobos broke stride too, and trotted back beside me. He issued a low almost imperceptible growl, impatient to return to our race. Georgie leaned forward breathing hard.

  • 2019 ANNUAL REPORT a National Leader in Animal Care, Conservation and Visitor Experience
    Providing a level of excellence that makes the Rosamond Gifford Zoo 2019 ANNUAL REPORT a national leader in animal care, conservation and visitor experience. 1 A JOINT MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD There is much to celebrate in the Friends 2019 annual report. Last year saw the birth of a baby Asian elephant and two critically endangered Amur leopard cubs. The zoo unveiled several new exhibits and welcomed several new rare and endangered species. Friends of the Zoo and our county partners upgraded and expanded the Helga Beck Asian Elephant Preserve, and construction began on a key Friends project, the Zalie & Bob Linn Amur Leopard Woodland. Some 332,000 people visited the zoo, enhanced by the Friends’ addition of a summer-long Big Bugs! attraction and a new 18-horse carousel. Our education programs involved more than 10,000 participants, including more than 7,500 school-age children. Our volunteers provided educational enrichment to guests, beautified the zoo with lush gardens and joined work projects to improve the facility. Our catering staff executed more than 120 events, from weddings to the Snow Leopard Soirée to Brew at the Zoo. All told, Friends provided more than $175,000 in direct support to the zoo and allocated more than $500,000 for capital improvements to help the zoo meet the “gold standard” for animal care and welfare, conservation education and saving species. We are extremely proud of these accomplishments, and we hope you will enjoy this look back at our achievements and all the people, businesses and community partners that helped make them possible.
