Silent Night, Holy Night: Reflections on Mother and Child

December 21, 2015 Leave a Comment

Advent is a season of expectation, hope, and preparation for the miracle of God’s entry into our world as a vulnerable infant. But do we pause often enough to ponder the birth itself? The nativity stories found in our sacred texts tell us little about it, though what we know is Mary was a relatively young woman, she was pregnant at an unexpected Read More

November 9, 2015 Leave a Comment

Sex. Religion. Politics. The unholy trinity of impolite conversation, right? So what happens when we talk about all three of the them at the same time? "Let's Get Frank About Faith and Family Planning" is the title of talk I gave at the second annual Triangle Global Health Consortium conference on November 5, 2015 in Durham, North Carolina.

Tips for Advocates Who Hate the Phone

August 10, 2015 Leave a Comment

I hate talking on the phone. Specifically, I really hate the act of calling people. Will the person pick up? What if I repeat my name several times and they still don't understand me? Am I calling at a bad time? I'm not sure why something this innocuous causes me such anxiety, but I'm not alone. Sometimes I wonder if technology like texting and Read More

April 30, 2015 Leave a Comment

Newborn pictures usually evoke tenderness and joy, but the ones circulating of Israeli families holding their rescued infants born to surrogate Nepalese women have caused me great pause. I've been following the horrific aftermath of the earthquake in Nepal that, according to the latest official count has claimed more than 5,000 lives, but some are Read More

Reclaiming Birth with Sacred Worth

April 7, 2015 Leave a Comment

This post was originally published on the Healthy Families, Healthy Planet blog.  In most instances when U.S. media portrays the birth of a baby, the storyline typically goes something like this: The woman’s water breaks in the grocery store. Her awestruck partner starts panicking that they need to rush to the hospital immediately. When they Read More
