SHOW NOTES
- Our texts this week are here
- Our prayer this week is “For A Faith Community” from Feminist Prayers for My Daughter by Shannon K. Evans
- A quick review of the historical context for eunuchs in the ancient world: https://www.britannica.com/topic/eunuch
- Two ancient references worth considering that highlight the non-binary reality of eunuchs: The first one is from St. Augustine who describes castrated eunuchs as “neither changed into a woman nor allowed to remain a man” (City of God 7.24). The other comes from the Tosefta (a Jewish commentary on the Mishnah), which applies *both* male and female laws to the eunuchs.
