Know any women ordained as priests since 2012?
Lisa Guthrie, a Master's student at Laidlaw College, is wishing to contact women who have been ordained priest for less than ten years. My name is Lisa Guthrie, and I am a Masters student in Theology at Laidlaw College. This research project is work towards my thesis.

The research aims to show how, for women, sharing our stories helps develop our sense of calling, because story-telling acts as a reflective process. It will give a women's perspective of calling to the role of priest and locate the role of a priest in the context of Anglican women in … [Read more...]
A Torch and A Thermos (an allegory): Spiritual speleologist Anam Cara goes in search of a more woman-inclusive God
Kia ora! Talofa! Malo e lelei! Hi! My name is Anam Cara and I absolutely love exploring. I’m a spiritual speleologist who delights in navigating spiritual landscapes, squeezing into caverns and grottoes where refreshing ideas are lurking. Would you like to join me on my next adventure? Until recently I’ve been camping out with a group of like-minded people near the Forest of Certainty, a softly undulating paddock populated with rows of pinus radiata and native seedlings.

I came across an early map, drawn decades ago by a cartographer called Fowler, … [Read more...]

Blood, Bellies, and Breasts: A Theology of the Womb
Join Jess Hall and Bridie Marsden-Boyd for a Review and Discussion of Bauman’s Theology of the Womb, introduced by Ceridwyn Parr, Administrator of Anglican Women's Studies Centre https://youtu.be/Tp840NErkpo Women’s bodies tell and re-tell the story of divine activity through their many rhythmic and cyclic processes; bleeding, birthing, growing, creating, holding, and dying. In this work, Bauman comprehensively investigates the implications of believing that the body, and in this case the female body, is a site of revelation. What results is a disarming read of intelligent and intimate proportions, which invites every reader to consider how their body tells God’s … [Read more...]
