Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Jana Childers imagines Jesus’ encounter with the kyophotic (bent over) women. Since he looked her in the eye and touched her, he must have gotten very low and in a humble position in order to heal her. There is no overstating the tenderness of God’s love, she asserts. Rev Childers is Emeritus Professor and former Dean at the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo.
