24.01.2022 Soupa denounces the contemptuous silence of the church regarding her bid to become archbishop. I am sorry that my church has no culture of debate, of dialogue, of listening. She appeals to French women to inundate the nuncios office with similar applications. #women #church #horizons

21.01.2022 Katie Humphrey reflects on being a mother, researcher and member of the church in times of COVID, maybe the Catholic catechism has an invitation to offer our new normal God wills the interdependence of creatures. The sun and the moon, the cedar and the little flower, the eagle and the sparrow: the spectacle of their countless diversities and inequalities tells us that no creature is self-sufficient. Creatures exist only in dependence on each other, to complete each other, in the service of each other #horizons #family #church #pandemics https://womenintheology.org//care-for-our-common-home-dur/

15.01.2022 'As Christians, we are called to stand up against oppression, not against some types of oppression. We are most certainly not called to oppress. When Church leaders spoke up against the Orlando killings in an LGBT nightclub, they appeared surprised when very few people bothered to listen, particularly within the LGBT community. That might just be because LGBT people dont want pity they want solidarity. A Church with an ambivalence on equality is not a church of solidarity.'
14.01.2022 CALL FOR PAPERS for a topical issue of Open Theology WOMEN AND GENDER IN THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLICAL WORLD II Edited by:... Zanne Domoney-Lyttle (University of Glasgow) Sarah Nicholson (University of Glasgow) DESCRIPTION Open Theology (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth) invites submissions for the topical issue "Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World II, edited by Zanne Domoney-Lyttle and Sarah Nicholson. This special issue aims to explore, interrogate and reflect on the ways in which women are understood, contextualised and represented in the text of the Bible that has developed, in various ways, a foundational significance for Western culture. We welcome papers that could contribute to this discussion by addressing, for example, gendered relationships between the human and the divine; compulsory heterosexuality; sociology of gender in biblical texts; the pathologizing of women's experiences; reception of biblical texts; gendered violence in biblical texts; post-colonial approaches to gendered representations of biblical women or themes of transgression, embodiment, power, performance, emotion, redemption or loss within biblical narratives. The focus of the issue is on the complex relationships between biblical women and the worlds they inhabit - including the worlds into which they have been relocated through recreation and interpretation - in order to illuminate reframings of, and contested answers to, Simone de Beauvoir's question: "What is a woman?" This issue is a continuation of the topical issue "Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World" (which will be available in full by the end of 2020; first contributions available at https://www.degruyter.com//journals/opth/opth-overview.xml).

08.01.2022 Yesterday was the Feast day of Saint Clare of Assisi - 11 August Around AD 1455 in Siena, Tuscany, the painter Giovanni di Paolo created a small panel titled St Clare of Assisi blessing the bread before Pope Innocent IV (Yale Bulletin and Calendar). He represented a well known story which has Clare ask the pope on the occasion of his visit to her community to bless bread. According to the story in the Fioretti Innocent IV insisted that Clare herself bless the bread. As she... did so,miraculously, the sign of the cross appeared on the bread. The painter depicts a woman with her right hand authoritatively stretched out in priestly blessing over the three small round loaves on the table. The miraculously transformed bread with the cross now imprinted resembles the large Eucharistic hosts reserved for priests. The painting frames these three host-like breads: on the right stands the pope,bowing both to the blessed bread and to Clare,with the remainder of that side filled with the papal entourage who exude power. The left side of the painting is filled with Clare,alone,with the bread she has transformed.Her hand is outstreched in blessing over the bread. Clares head is surrounded by a large halo.The pope, on the other side wears his tiara and the cardinals their red hats.The painter has chosen to display the power of female sanctity in the face of male clerical power and Gods authentication of this female power over bread, to which a pope can only bow. ( from Gender Differences And The Making Of Liturgical History by Teresa Berger). There is a large fresco representing that same event on the wall of the convent refectory in San Damiano, where it actually happened. In that painting the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove is also present.a strong reminder of the epiclesis during the Eucharist. For some strange reason that fresco is normally kept hidden from sight to the general public, with no reproductions available. When queried as to why this invisibility, the reply from the poor clare sister in charge was: It is not yet time. Eight centuries later! Soline Humbert

03.01.2022 A message of Gender Equality in the Pacific is being promoted by United World through their Gender Equality Theology Project. 95% of people across the Pacific identify as Christian and the church’s teachings have a massive influence on people’s behaviour. But ~68% of women and girls experience violence in their homes and communities. We support Pacific churches to address gender inequality and violence by re-examining their theology. We support a network of Pacific theologia...ns to create theological resources (Bible studies, workshop materials etc) and lead dialogue in gender theology; run workshops to engage men and women in examining beliefs and behaviour; and invest in education and livelihoods projects that empower women. Check out their website for stories about the impact of this project and resources on gender equality theology to use in your church or Bible study group. https://www.unitingworld.org.au//partnering-women-for-cha/
02.01.2022 The Sandbox Revolution is available for pre-order! Release date March 2021... "It is a complex time to be a parent. Our climate is in crisis, and economic inequality is deepening. Racialized violence is spreading, and school shootings are escalating. How do we, as parents, cultivate in our children a love of the earth, a cry for justice, and a commitment to nonviolence? Where do we place our bodies so we teach our kids that resistance is crucial and change is possible? What p...ractices do we hold as a family to encourage them to work with their hands, honor their hearts, and nurture their spirits? The Sandbox Revolution calls upon our collective wisdom to wrestle with the questions, navigate the challenges, offer concrete practices, and remind parents of the sacredness of the work. Written by parents who are also writers, pastors, teachers, organizers, artists, gardeners, and activists, this anthology offers a diversity of voices and experiences on topics that include education, money, anti-racism, resistance, spirituality, disability justice, and earth care."
