A lady found out she was pregnant and quietly delivered. We housed her ... looked after her and the baby during her confinement and because she said she did not want to keep the baby (she was not married and could not afford to keep the child), I arranged for someone to foster the child.
The child is happy, thriving well and has been officially adopted by her parents a few months ago.
The mother has seen her child on a few occasions as the adoptive parents wanted to ensure a healthy transition for both the child and biological mother — and I’m glad to see that the mother is settled with her decision to give her child up so she can focus on her older child (who is doing amazingly well in school by the way).
I have a few cases where unwed moms come to me and I try my level best to assist.
Most importantly is for the safety of the child and mother, and to ensure the birth mother registers her child’s birth to prevent the child from being stateless or undocumented.
We need to stop the stigma.

[Meeting Martin Luther King Jr. in Boston]
Having lived in Boston for several years, I'm very used to a conversation with questions like "where are you from", "what do you do", etc at social events or church. Now, let's imagine that I lived in the year of 1953, just a few years after world war II. On an ordinary weekday morning, when I was on the Green Line B branch (which then was numbered "route #62") along Commonwealth Avenue toward downtown, I started a conversation with an African American guy who got up at the BU central stop. I quickly got into the typical Bostonian conversation:
"Hi, what's your name?"
"Martin." He said.
"I'm Jerome. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too."
"Are you a student at BU?"
"Ya. I go to the divinity school."
"That's cool. What do you study there?"
"I'm a doctoral student in systematic theology."
"Wow, that sounds very hard-core. So did you come to Boston to attend this program?"
"Ya. I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. I moved here two years ago after getting my bachelor of divinity."
"So are you a pastor?"
"Yes, I am."
"Cool. So where are you heading right now?"
"I'm going to downtown to meet my finacee. She's a music student at New England Conservatory. We're going to get married in Alabama next month."
"Wow, congratulations!"
That's true. I met the civil right activist-to-be Martin Luther King Jr. in the city of Boston, where it's never a surprise to randomly run into a doctor or a professor on the street. In a few minutes, I heard more about his story. While living in the south most of his life, he did spent 4 years in Boston, where he attended Boston University and got his PhD in systematic theology. While racial segregation (which came to existence after the civil war) was still prevalent in the south, Boston was the first city where I felt he was free to do everything without discrimination. He really enjoyed this city. And instead of living in the dorm of BU, he rented an apartment at 397 Mass Ave, right next to today's Orange Line Mass Ave station.
Boston was also the city where he met his wife Coretta Scott. They got married in June 1953. And he was incredibly young as a doctoral student -- he skipped two grades in high school and completed college at the age of 19. By the time he started doctoral study in Boston (at the age of 22), he already obtained his first seminary degree. By the way, he was also the assistant pastor at Twelfth Baptist Church, an African-American congregation near Dudley Square.
--------
Now the conversation continued. Martin and I started talking about Christian church and theology.
"Which church do you go to?" He asked.
"The XXX church. It's an evangelical church."
"Ah, Christian evangelism." From his eyes, you could tell there was probably something in his head.
"What do you think about it?"
"Well, I'm a pastor, and I do build my ministry on the teaching of Jesus. But I hope your church is not like one of the typical American churches today. I think really miss the point of the gospel."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, they've been focusing too much on individuals being saved and ignoring the injustice in this society. They miss their mission to liberate the oppressed."
"Well, isn't a Christian church supposed to share the gospel and convert sinners to God?"
"Yup, but doesn't the gospel free us? How can you say you're sharing the gospel while so many people in this country are oppressed and suffering from inequality?"
"You're right, but this should be the outcome of salvation, instead of the salvation itself..."
"(Sigh.) I think the some churches really need to shift focus." He breathed before continuing. "Old faiths like the bodily resurrection, virgin birth and miracles that contradict the science may not be necessary for Christianity today. Churches are called to realize the Kingdom of God on earth by exercising justice and mercy..."
Now I could sense where on the "church spectrum" he was. He was vastly influenced by Walter Rauschenbusch's social gospel, a theological thought popular in the early 20th century that called for a return to the "Kingdom of God" doctrine. Church's primary calling, in social gospel's perspective, is to bring God's kingdom on earth by applying Jesus' teaching to solve social issues and rescue the oppressed. Along with Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent approach, it shaped King's theology and fueled the later movements he led.
And It was also interesting to see theologically how liberal his was. He casted his doubt on some essential doctrines that most Christian denominations held true back then. If you are from an evangelical background, this may get on your nerves. (But keep in mind that he lived before the age of neo-orthodoxy, and people often abandoned traditional views when running into doctrines that contradict scientific knowledge.) And this is probably why while many pastors today would say King's accomplishment was fueled by the Christian faith, but avoid talking too much about his view on doctrines.
--------
Let's get back on the train scene. At the Park Street underground station in downtown Boston, I said bye to the newly met friend Martin and saw him disappearing in the crowd. I could tell he's a brilliant and eloquent person, but might not expect two years later he'd be the person would be a key leader in the Montgomery bus boycott, nor decades later he'd deliver his famous speech in Washington. I might not agree with everything he said, but I'd definitely remember this conversation with Martin, a person that was once like me, who lived to Boston short-term to pursue a degree and was shaped by the personality of this city.
--------
[Afterthought] As a member of an American evangelical church (and also a foreigner of a minority group), the story of Martin Luther King Jr. continues to puzzle me. His view on certain doctrines are likely to be condemned as unorthodox by evangelical churches, but meanwhile, as the "saved" people, do we eager to live out and advocate the biblical justice in daily life as he did? Or we're always being "gospel-centered" while ignoring the all-inclusive nature of the biblical gospel?

「從夫姓」這件事,我很想問問大家的意見!結婚許久,我一直沒冠夫姓也沒從夫姓,在台灣也沒有這樣的問題,但,每每在南法的家庭聚會都會提到這個,法國人怎麼會這麼古板?還是因為我嫁給外國人,所以我真的必須放棄自己的姓氏?我一直以為外國人的女權主義比亞洲還強大,但我好像錯了!
請大家評評理吧!
為什麼不是男人跟女人姓?
為什麼女人要順從男人?為什麼不是男人順從?
為什麼女人嫁到夫家要做牛做馬?而男人就只出一張嘴?只出一指神功滑手機電腦?還要我們跟你們姓?
為什麼???????????
而且,這世界就是一個重男輕女的世界,歐美各國女性結了婚就要冠夫姓,這是父權主義的產物;阿拉伯女人不能露臉更別說露身體,這是也是父權主義下的犧牲者;日本女人要服侍先生,就連韓國偶像劇劇情多半也是如此,在中國一胎化的問題,讓多少的家庭因為生了女兒而必須遺棄?!在在的這些都是父權主義下的產物,這,對女性公平嗎?
現在,雙薪家庭比比皆是,男女平等也是應該,我們是在21世紀不是19世紀啊!!!!
為所有的女性吶喊!!!!!!
我們要的是尊重,要的是平等!
如果要我們做什麼,就請你們跟我們同步!以示公平!
Crown husband's name or not?
I would like to ask everyone's opinion! Married for a long time, I did not crown husband's surname.
In Taiwan, there is no problem about this, it even an old school way not a lot of people do it.
but, on the family gathering in southern France keep talking about this. how French people can be so old-fashioned? Or because I am married to a foreigner, so I really have to give up my surname? I always thought that foreigner's feminists also stronger than Asia, but I feel like I was wrong!
Please let's talk about it.
Why do not change the surname of the man and woman at the same time?
Why women should obey men? Why do not men obey women?
Why women have to do anything? The men just use their tongue talking non stop? Only use one finger slide phone or computer all the time?
why? ? ? ? ?
Moreover, this world is a patriarchal world, Europe and the United States women married need to crown husband's surname, which is the product of patriarchal; Arab women can not show their face, the body, the hair, which is also under the patriarchal Victim; Japanese women need to serve their husbands, and even most of the Korean idol drama too, China's one-child issues, some of the family because was born a daughter must be abandoned? ! Those are the product of patriarchal, is it fair for the women?
Now, double-income families everywhere, it should be gender equality, we are in the 21st century, not the 19th century ah! ! ! !
for all women! ! ! ! ! !
What we want is respect, what we need is equality!
If you want us to do something , we ask you to sync with us! for a fair!
