We had many interactive parts of our Liturgy of the Word, including a call and response and the opportunity for participants to share the name of a woman in their own lives who influenced their faith journey.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This was an incredibly empowering experience for those of us who were involved in planning our celebration. We hope to continue this journey together by potentially starting a St. Phoebe Circle. Our experience together was such a blessing, and we will continue to reach out to others amongst us to uplift the witnesses of women in our community on our journey together.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Our experience together was such a blessing, and we will continue to reach out to others amongst us to uplift the witnesses of women in our community on our journey together.&#8221;<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":18516,"template":"","witness-tag":[103],"class_list":["post-18403","witness","type-witness","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/witness\/18403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/witness"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/witness"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"witness-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/witness-tag?post=18403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
