Reading Aloud. I just got that advice the other day on Street Prophets, a blog community I belong to. I did a post there this weekend about the infamous passage in 1 Timothy (http://www.streetprophets.com/story/2007/9/23/144128/885) which is often used to justify the prohibition against women clergy. So this is a controversial passage to begin with. I knew that in commenting on it, I would have to tread carefully. I scanned over the post looking for typos. And, naturally, I missed one.
There's a verse in the passage where Paul says that "women will be saved through childbirth". I typed it as "women will be shaved through childbirth".
Needless to say, I got a few comments about that.
One of the kinder ones said: "Think of it as your Amish-like "mistake for god"--the error that shows you weren't trying, full of hubris, to be perfect...."
