Imaginative and passionate, these prayers bring the full range of women's experience before God. Blessings, laments, celebrations and creeds, they use a variety of forms and can be used by individuals and in a liturgical setting.
A collection of poems, prayers and liturgical material, focused around the figure of Mary, and the themes of motherhood, sisterhood, and female faith.
The figure of the feminine side of Christ is widely present in art and in feminist theology, but the risen Christa has not so far been explored. Nicola Slee, using reflection, poetry and images, revisits many of the central narratives of the gospels and key Christological themes, re-imagining them through the figure of the Christa.
Acclaimed poet theologian Nicola Slee reflects on and wrestles with questions of how to practice the scriptural principle of Sabbath in a church and world that have become compulsively driven, competitive and workaholic, obsessively activist and outcome-oriented.
Eerie stories of ghosts, spirits, and hauntings from across the Keystone State.
Presenting a rich account of women's faith lives and, mapping women's meanings in their own right, this book offers an alternative to dominant accounts of faith development which failed to account for women's experience. Drawing on Fowler's faith development theory, feminist models of women's faith and social science methodology, the text explores the patterns and processes of women's faith development and spirituality in a group of thirty women belonging to, or on the edges of, Christian tradition.A A Integrating practical theological concern with Christian education and pastoral practice, this book will be of interest to all concerned with women's faith development, spirituality, education and formation, and those working in the fields of practical theology, pastoral care, adult theological education, spiritual direction and counselling."
