Feminism & Christianity, ‘Changing Church’

Last updated on: April 4, 2013 at 9:33 am By Caryn Riswold

Over at her Changing Church blog, Jann Aldredge-Clanton regularly shares new hymns and profiles leaders in a variety of Christian communities. I’ve shared recordings of her music as well as her profile of Rev. Alice Martin, and should also note that Jann’s is one of the stories included in Lana Dalberg’s new book Birthing God, which I endorsed and wrote about about when it was released earlier this year. So I’m honored that she chose to include me as one... Read more

Red Logo Resistance: Homonationalism & the HRC

Last updated on: April 2, 2013 at 9:35 am By Caryn Riswold

I did it. You probably did it. Everyone was doing it. Changing their profile picture to the red version of the Human Rights Campaign logo last week as a statement of support for marriage equality as lawyers argued against California’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act before the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Huffington Post shared a fascinating image of the United States showing the prevalence of Facebook avatar changes by county.... Read more

At the Intersections: Renewing Life

Last updated on: March 31, 2013 at 1:07 pm By Caryn Riswold

Many good people live and work at the intersections … of feminism and Christianity, of ministry and justice, of religion and politics, of gender and society, of race and inequality, of everything and then some. I’ve invited a few people to tell a story from their intersections, and will be sharing their stories from time to time here. Today’s story comes from my friend Krista E. Hughes. Krista is Assistant Professor of Theological Studies at Hanover College (Hanover, Indiana), where she... Read more

“Christ-Sophia Has Risen”

Last updated on: March 30, 2013 at 3:04 pm By Caryn Riswold

Rev. Jann Aldredge-Clanton offers us new words to sing to a familiar Christian tune (I know it best as “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation …”) this Easter morning, here performed by the Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jann describes the inspiration for these new words: “Christ-Sophia” is the central divine symbol in this song. This new symbol holds power for inspiring social justice through shared power and fulfilling the biblical promise of... Read more

Honorable Mention: Resisting Structural Evil

Last updated on: March 26, 2013 at 10:49 am By Caryn Riswold

It seems fitting to Good Friday for me to share a bit about a new book by my friend and colleague Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda: Resisting Structural Evil: Love as Ecological-Economic Vocation. Good Friday, to me, puts Christians squarely at the intersection of the real power of death and destruction in the world, and the hope for something more, for life abundant, for life in spite of the cross and Jesus’ execution at the hands of state power. It is this... Read more

Even If He’s Not Your Son, He’s Still Human

Last updated on: March 26, 2013 at 10:19 am By Caryn Riswold

It shouldn’t take a gay son to convince a senator to support marriage equality. Like many people, I was pleased to see Rob Portman from Ohio become the first sitting Republican senator to publically state his support for marriage equality. I was relieved last year when Barack Obama finally completed his own public and self-described evolution on marriage equality, even though I think it took too long. And Hillary Clinton only just recently stated her unequivocal support for gay rights... Read more

Me & Oz

Last updated on: March 21, 2013 at 9:44 am By Caryn Riswold

The following is an excerpt from a piece that my husband, Mark Schelske, wrote over at Fantasy Matters last week. It’s his take on why I love The Wizard of Oz, and he makes a connection between that love and my second book, Two Reformers. In sum, Caryn’s book compares a 20th century feminist academic, Mary Daly, to a 16th century Catholic priest, Martin Luther. They both leave the Catholic Church and lead reformist movements after being disillusioned by their... Read more

Feminist Seder Prayers for Reproductive Justice

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 10:57 am By Caryn Riswold

As Jews around the world begin marking Passover, The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice has shared a series of Seder prayers that lift up women’s journey toward freedom and struggles against oppression. This “collaborative compendium of reproductive justice Passover readings” was put together in partnership with Jewish Women International, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in conjunction with Women of Reform Judaism. From the introduction: The four cups of wine we drink... Read more

Midwife Divine

Last updated on: March 21, 2013 at 10:59 am By Caryn Riswold

Rev. Jann Aldredge-Clanton has shared a new recording of her song “Midwife Divine Now Calls Us,” performed by the choir at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. This, and other wonderful compositions, are available in her book Inclusive Hymns for Liberating Christians. About the song, Jann writes: “One of the Divine Feminine names and images in the Bible is that of Midwife. ‘Yet it was you who took me from the womb; you kept me safe on my mother’s... Read more
