C and I were in Sydney only from Wednesday late evening till Friday early morning. And the head of MCC women, Nancy Wilson, arranged for a women's gathering on Thursday evening. How cool was that! Nancy Wilson to MCC (NY), the latest inclusive church in the world, is like the Pope to the Catholics (so one of them said). And so we went. In that room of 30 women, nearly 3/4 of them were mature in age. And I thought: where are the older women in our church?
What are the reasons why we see only older women at MCC Sydney? Maybe they are tired of the partying and drinking life. Maybe they had found a life partner and wanted to focus on loving God and serving God together as a couple. Maybe they are tired of looking for a partner in the secular world because the relationships didn't seem to last and perhaps they think a christian lady may do the job this time. Maybe being in a christian environment feels warm in a cold harsh world, especially in a world where one is discriminated for being different this way.
FCC has grown a lot since the time I joined 5 years ago. But it's not the quantity that matters as much as the depth of each woman's walk with God. I am praying that God will help us grow deep in Him.
And then, I saw some tattoos on some of them. I reckon the tattoos used to look quite cool when they were younger.. Looking at their tattoos made me decide not to get any. :p
