Feminist liturgy is not esoteric nor weird nor for women only. Rather it is liturgy that has been shaped by women and some men who recognized that something was missing in the worship of our synagogues and churches. And not only was something missing, but at times what was expressed was not true, especially for women and other marginalized people. Feminist liturgies began when women and a few men asked themselves what would be true, what would be just. The answers were not found in discussions about liturgy but rather in trying to use symbols, texts, and forms that expressed relationships with God, one another, all created life, more accurately and more authentically. This book traces the story of feminist liturgy: how, when, and why it began; the principles that guide it; what it looks like; and what its future may be.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Grounded feminist ritual,
By Nancy J Anderson (College of St. Catherine, St Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feminist Liturgy (American Essays in Liturgy) (Paperback)
For such a small book, the author offers tremendous history and application of feminist liturgy to institutional settings. If you're looking for ritual or liturgy for social justice and/or affirmation of women in liturgical settings, this is a wonderful resource. I found it marvelously affirming of my liturgical and spiritual journey.
