Weavings

"For the first time, women's theological reflections from South Pacific nations have been gathered together in a published volume. This historic achievement represents the collective vision, will, energy, and commitment of women representing a broad cross-section of Pacific Islands ethnic and church communities. This work is not a publication merely for women, but it is a valuable ground-breaking contribution to the development of theology in Oceania and a gift to the churches of the Pacific and the worldwide church. It will be required reading the theological studentsm pastors, and laity across the region. The book has much to offer to the fields of women's and feminist theologies, contextual and non-western theologies, and to all in the worldwide church family who are open to hearing and learning from their sisters in this part of the world."--Back cover.

God is a Weaver. The tapestry of a person's life is His design. The threads of experience and the colors of truth are His alone to choose. He moves every individual shuttle in and out to create the lives that are mine and yours. We see only the underside of His masterwork, while He alone sees the beauty of its design from above. The closer we stay to the Weaver, the more beautiful the shades and patterns appear to us. There are knots and patches in every tapestry, yet in His grace, He works through those rough spots and faithfully continues the process until we are with Him and can see it complete.
