Yvonne Renoult, Sarah Putney

Thank you to Paul Dixon for bringing to our attention the need to prayerfully support the women of Afghanistan (“Purifying our image of womanhood,” Sentinel, August 12, 2013). It’s so helpful to hear how he is praying to see them in their true spiritual light.

I have been troubled about the oppression of women in many parts of the world. This article helps one feel united in an effort to see womanhood as a spiritual idea and not as a cursed condition in matter. Dixon’s lovely description of the women’s devotion to their families and their obvious quiet strength gives one hope that the power of goodness will ultimately prevail.

It is especially meaningful that a man wrote this article. It’s a demonstration of the qualities of true manhood, such as sensitive concern and the recognition of true worth.
