Recipient of funding from the UUWF Grants Program

The newly revised version of Cakes for the Queen of Heaven: In Ancient Times is the first part of the popular feminist theology curriculum, developed originally by Shirley Ranck and published by the UUA in 1986. The new edition was partially supported by funds from the UUWF Grants Program and focuses on female images of the divine from prehistory through early patriarchy, relating this information to central issues in women’s lives. The five-session program includes Guidelines for Facilitators and a CD-ROM with slide shows and resources for distribution to participants. |

Thought of the Month: January 2008
The greatest religious problem today
is how to be both a mystic and a militant;
in other words, how to combine
the search for an expansion of inner awareness
with effective social action,
and how to feel one's true identity in both.
