Assignment: Forum Discussion: Whose Voices Do We Hear?
Submit your reflection in 200-300 words.
After revisiting the story of the Canaanite/Syrophoenician woman and engaging this week's materials, reflect on the following questions:
1. What stood out to you when you read these two versions of the same encounter?
2. Whose voice or perspective draws your attention most strongly in this story, and why?
3. What does this encounter reveal to you about inclusion, exclusion, power, or belonging?
4. Where do you see similar questions of belonging or marginalization in your own community, church, or ministry context?
5. How might this story challenge or reshape the way you think about welcoming and listening to people whose experiences are different from your own?
