    About Amy

    I’m Amy Yoder McGloughlin, the pastor at Frazer Mennonite Church in Malvern, PA. Before serving at Frazer, I served at Germantown Mennonite Church in Philadelphia.

    I’m an occasional writer on the Mennonite World Review blog, a regular preacher, and an aspiring book author (stay tuned for more about that!) I’m  interested in how communities discern texts together, and the intersection of our story with the biblical stories.

    When I’m not getting geeked out about the Bible, writing, or going to church meetings, I’m hanging out with my family, gardening, or planning my annual trip to Palestine with Christian Peacemaker Teams.

    This blog is a written version of my sermons–which I think are pretty readable–along with other articles I write along the way.

    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.

    Why Stories  from the Red Tent?

    In 2007, as I was discerning whether or not I should go to seminary, I read The Red Tent.  It was a fictional story about Rachel and the women in her life.  They would go into the red tent during their menstrual cycle, because they were unclean.  And, during their time in the tent, they’d share their own stories, the untold biblical stories.

    One of the reasons I love the scriptures, is because there is plenty of room for our stories, whether they look like the ones written in the bible, or they are alluded to in the lines between the biblical story.

    What is important is that we share the stories with each other, that we learn from each other, that our stories support each other on our journeys.

    Thanks for reading.  Thanks for sharing.  Now, go tell the story.

    I was introduced to your blog through a fb post from Marginal Mennonite Society and was intrigued by your blog name. My brother gave the The Red Tent years ago as a gift and I greatly enjoyed the story and the custom. So when I saw this familiar name, I followed the post to your blog. I’m looking forward to reading more, Amy.
