Disciples women transcend barriers during Asia trip
By Heidi Bright Parales, DisciplesWorld contributing writer
(12/26/05) — Olivia Bryan sat down at a piano with a Korean girl who was playing Chopsticks. For the next five to 10 minutes, Bryan joined in, wordlessly playing the left side of the piano, completing the song and thinking about the irony of how she had learned to eat with chopsticks on this trip to Asia.
“God was laughing with that play on words,” recalled the associate pastor of Providence Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Lexington, Ky.
“It was the moment it all came together for me. That was by far my most powerful moment.”
