From the Shores of Silence : Conversations in Feminist Practical Theology, Paperback / softback Book

From the Shores of Silence : Conversations in Feminist Practical Theology Paperback / softback

Edited by Ashley Cocksworth, Rachel Starr, Stephen Burns

Paperback / softback

Description

Feminist practical theology has emerged in the gap between wider feminist and wider practical theology.

It celebrates distinctive concerns, arguments, emphases, and questions – unafraid to re-form practical theology in shape and substance, and to guide feminist theology towards the silences and stories of human lives that some professional theologies (including those shaped by feminist commitments) sometimes overlooks.

Feminist practical theology is bold in exploration of doctrinal themes in poetic and prayerful modes, characteristically collaborative and in search of alliances with other advocacy perspectives. In the UK, such commitments have been exemplified by Nicola Slee, whom this volume honours.

Chapters invite readers into wide ranging conversations that flow from young women’s experiences at university, poetic practice as theology, queer priesthood, theologies of critical masculinities, women presiding in worship, Black and decolonial theologies adjacent to feminist convictions, confrontations with sexual violence, rest and rewilding, and a post-menopausal Mary.
