New Feminist Christianity

Insights from ministers and theologians, activists and leaders, artists and liturgists who are shaping the future of Christian feminism. New in Paperback! Feminism has brought many changes to Christian religious practice. From inclusive language and imagery about the Divine to an increase in the number of women ministers, Christian worship will never be the same. Yet even now, there is a lack of substantive structural change in many churches and a certain complacency within denominations. The contributors to this book are the thought leaders of the future who are shaping, and being shaped by, the emerging directions of feminist Christianity. They speak from across the denominational spectrum and from the many diverse groups that make up the Christian community. Taken together, their voices offer a starting point for building new models of religious life and worship. Contributors include: María Pilar Aquino ¿ Rachel A. R. Bundang ¿ Wanda Deifelt ¿ Marie M.
