[Wamvan] Invitation - dialogue, creative exploration of identities: queer, feminist and Christian

Sat May 17 13:39:13 PDT 2014

This idea of a feminist Christian dialogue sounds very exciting. From
attending various churches here in Vancouver (though I'm atheist, I get
invited regularly), I think the Christian community is so ready to hear and
integrate feminism into their hermeneutics.

My friend Beth Anne wrote about sexuality from a Christian feminist
perspective in a recent multi-part blog series that enthused many of her
fellow Christian friends.
