A s the pastor of a small church in a small city, Jennifer Brown is warm and solicitous. But at the mention of Mother’s Day she turns exasperated: she hates it. For years, in the Southern Baptist churches in which she was raised, it was the only time that she was permitted to take the pulpit. Even then it was called a “reflection”, not a sermon, and a male pastor would introduce her, signalling that he authorised her presence there.
詹妮弗·布朗(Jennifer Brown)是一个小城市的小教堂的牧师,温暖而律师。但是在提到母亲节时,她感到愤怒:她讨厌它。多年来,在她长大的南部浸信会教堂里,这是她唯一被允许参加讲坛的唯一一次。即使那样,它也被称为“反思”,而不是讲道,而一位男士会介绍她,这表明他授权她在那里的存在。
