About Amy
I’m Amy Yoder McGloughlin, the pastor at Germantown Mennonite Church in Philadelphia, PA since June of 2010.
I’m interested in how communities discern texts together, and the intersection of our story with the biblical stories. This blog is a combination of both my personal stories about life, pastoring and parenting, and sermons and other writings I do.
A favorite quote of mine is from post-colonial theologian, R.S. Sugirtharajah. ”Currently it has become fashionable to be part of the margins, and now the margin may not be able to hold all those who want to be in it.” I have spent a lot of my adult life feeling on the margins of the church. I have given up on accepting a status on the margins and I’m committed to writing and speaking as someone that is planted firmly in the center of Christian tradition.
It should go without saying, but I probably need to say it anyway. The opinions I express on this blog are my opinions, and not necessarily the opinions of my congregation.
