Great writing. I love your bio and I consider myself a non-disillusionist, too. Just never had a name for it.
I've often wondered if the women were really absent from the Last Supper. After all, a Seder would have been a "family" meal.
This is not a criticism, just a comment for you guys to raise your awareness. I'm simply weary of the "Mary baked the bread and went off to do the laundry" treatment.
Think of about the implications of this passage: Luke 8: 1 "After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means."

To Beyond Words, I agree that women are unfairly left out of the picture. I'm sure it's intentional in most cases. I left them out as a statement to that, actually. From several sources I've read lately, and several thoughts from people like Crossan, I believe women were instrumental in Jesus's ministry, had once been priests or priest-like in their duties, and were merely pushed down from the male-dominated society once Jesus was gone.
Thanks to all of you for the comments.
