St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - Weekly Talks

Deacon Aaron Williams, PhD candidate, John Paul II's Institute for Marriage and Family, Washington, D.C., continues in his second talk on the typological images of Mary. As the one who says a pure yes to God, she is an icon of the Church in her ontological posture of receptivity. While navigating through the tumult of our culture's elevation of misogyny, we are drawn back to Mary's grace-filled "yes", open and free of striving for autonomy, the distorted masculine. God's power is received though an embraced exchange; from independence to humble weakness, it is ever and only "yes" to God.
