Resources for the New Year

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.

Now available in DVD, CD, and PDF formats with spiral bound Leader’s Guide and Sourcebook!

Originally published by the UUWF in 1995, this multicultural and multimedia course has been experienced by thousands around the world. Many have been profoundly moved by its exciting exploration of sacred narratives that honor the cross cultural female divine, as well as the many diverse and creative activities included.  This re-release contains all the original content but is more flexible. Easier-to-use formats give facilitators additional possibilities for programming. Components are sold separately or as a complete kit.  Learn more, including how to order.

Meet Grace Garner!
In 2002 UUWF donated $250,000 to the UUA to create an internship position dedicated to women’s issues in the UUA Washington Office.  This past fall, a third young woman has followed the footsteps of the first two interns - Kirstin Homblette and Meredith Schonfeld-Hicks - into this position:  now known as the UUWF Clara Barton Legislative Assistant for Women’s Issues.

Learn more about the third in a series of remarkable UU women!


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.
- May Sarton
