Women of Faith in Dialogue [Paperback]

Virginia Ramey Mollenkott (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Originally presented at "Women of Faith" conferences in 1980 and 1984, these essays by Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim women reflect on their diverse identities and tasks, struggles within their respective faith communities, and common calls to work for justice and peace. The stress is on genuine dialogue to which participants bring their unique ministries; these women all shun the notion of a watered-down commonality. Closing with guidelines for forming local "Women of Faith" groups, this should be welcomed by many in the ecumenical feminist movement. EC

More About the Author

Virginia Ramey Mollenkott is the author or co-author of 13 books, including several on women and religion. She is a winner of the Lambda Literary Award and has published numerous essays on literary topics.

In 1978, Virginia co-authored Is The Homosexual My Neighbor? A Positive Christian View with Letha Dawson Scanzoni. After being expanded and updated in 1994, this ground-breaking work still stands as one of the most informative and thorough explorations of the topic. Sensuous Spirituality, Dr. Mollenkott's 1992 book (revised and updated in 2008), examines the integration of sexuality and spirituality, social activism and personal peace.

Dr. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott has lectured widely on lesbian, gay, and bisexual rights and has also been active in the transgender cause, authoring Omnigender (revised and updated version published in 2007), and serving as co-author of Transgender Journeys (2003).

"All of her writings may be subsumed under the theme of oneness, which Mollenkott variously describes as an 'organic wholeness' and a 'transcendental integrative vision.' The emphasis is on seeing God in all things and serving God in all activities, integration of the human personality around a unifying center, and awareness of humanity's interdependence."
