Default Women and the Church

Thanks Bruce for bringing this thread up again. Your recommendations are right on target. The only person I think you missed was Mary Hunt a well known woman theologian who is also out as a lesbian.

I have been blessed to be at a very progressive parish where women get to preach several times a year. I'm an out lesbian, and the new pastor, has again invited me to preach. I preached for a number of years back 8 years ago, but the pastor who came in silenced me for the entire time of his "reign."

It is indeed difficult at times, but it's very important that our voices are heard.
