We are beginning a
new series this week called “Reading Romans Backwards.” In these first verses
from Romans 16, where we will begin our series, Paul is breaking down assumptions
of Privilege and Power that were so taken for granted in the first century
world. Unexpected people are leaders in the early church, but they too are
equals and all are considered ‘siblings’ in this community. Each person must
set aside aspects of their old identities in order to embrace their new
identity as one people “In Christ.”
