“Our sacred texts do not proclaim or even envision a world without slavery and the subordination of women, but they lay a foundation for us to transcend them and their limitations – the limitations of those who claimed to hear God enshrining human bondage of all sorts: “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt.” “Do to others what you would have them do to you.” “What is hateful to you, do not do to another.” “In the Messiah there is no longer slave or free, male or female.”
