I’m doing some research for a new book project and couldn’t help but share this quote with you by Richard Rohr. It comes from a book titled, Adam’s Return:

“Most of the time we see Jesus operating outside official sacred space, which is very telling. He does most of his work on the streets, in private homes, and in the country-side. He is comfortable with body contact with people in general and women in particular, with dead bodies, with sick bodies, with public and private sinners, with lepers, and with the ritually impure.”
