Alabaster Box

Marginalized women outside the acceptable contact worthy framework of the church is a frequent theme in New Testament revolutionary or Liberatory Theology.by Jesus up close and personal. He spoke to woman who the then church had labelled sinners and unclean, he touched people who were untouchable due to illness and disabilities.He welcomed these women into his immediate circles of fellowship. The Alabaster Box is one story of this contact so well portrayed here in this moving song by Ce Ce Winans the Alabaster Box. I found this while preparing for a reading and performance of a piece of poetry I wrote called the Bent Over Woman which has been taken to women's conferences and now dramatized. I can hardly wait to meet the woman that plays the Bent Over Woman and once again here Cathy do her Rise Up Woman which interlocks with it. While waiting I found this other encounter of a woman in one of my favorite stories the Alabaster Box .
