The Reverend Pauli Murray knew the wilderness long before Lent ever asked us to enter it. Her life—misnamed, delayed, resisted—mirrors the wilderness stories we hear on the First Sunday in Lent (Year A): eyes opened to the consequences of consciously choosing knowledge and making culture (Genesis 3:7), the ache of hiding and the relief of being seen (Psalm 32), the long arc from trespass to grace (Romans 5:12-19) and Jesus’ own clarity forged in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11). This Tradition Remixed reflection traces how Murray’s vocation, her delayed recognition, the stalled release of her commemorative quarter and the witness of My Name is Pauli Murray reveal a church still wandering in its own unfinished wilderness and the grace that persists anyway.
