    SEBTS Chapel - Nancy Osborne March 5, 1986
    Beschreibung:
    The service begins with a call to worship through a responsive reading (0:00-0:99). The congregation is encouraged to examine their hearts, confess their sins and sorrows, and are led in prayer (1:00-5:25). Osborne reads from Genesis 1 and speaks about the powerful affirmation of being created in the image of God (5:26-6:32). She speaks about how our words and experience are tied together, giving examples of familiar images we associate with God (6:33-7:48). Osborne suggests the image of God as mother, which she believes to be colorful and new (7:49-8:40). She suggests that all the attributes of stereotypical males and females are attributes which we find in God, saying, “Just as the characteristics we typify as male or female are present in the humanness of all humans, so they are equally present in the godness of God” (8:41-9:43). Osborne argues that the female language of faith has been overlooked over the centuries in favor of the male language of faith, and that both aspects should be considered in relation to God and people (9:44-13:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving (13:23-15:04). Another speaker shares about how all people are made in the image of God and that creation would not be the same without people (15:05-16:40). One’s view on Jesus shifts based on the understanding that people are made in the image of God, that people are not called to be like Jesus, yet still image bearers of God (16:41-19:04). She shares moments when she saw the image of God played out (19:05-22:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving for people who have lived out God’s image in their day and who have worked to see free the image of God in others, such as the Hebrew midwives who subverted the power of Pharaoh, stuttering Moses, courageous Ruth, timid Mary, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, including those who have personally touched the lives of the congregation (22:23-27:00). There is a congregational prayer and responsive reading (27:01-28:10).
