text:  In marching with activists and in seeing the impact of this bill, I was reminded why this work was important. And so I've continued to write, to speak, to think, and to strategize about the intersection of faith and gender equality. Sometimes I wonder what kinds of conversations I would have with my father if he were alive today. I think we would disagree on a lot of scriptures. I think he would welcome the disagreement, and I know that he would be proud. Thank you.
