We had a great (and somewhat surprising!) turnout, and people also joined live online from coast to coast across the US and Canada. Here's one comment from the livestream.
"This is Amazing . . . Incredible. What an Approach. Thank you for this."
In addition to explaining the story behind the book and the argument, I did two selected readings about why resolving the gender paradox is so important on a global scale and in the church.
And there was some great treats and conversation afterwards!
