A couple of days ago I spoke about the need to listen to voices from other cultures. As I reflected on that entry I realized that at times I seem to pay more attention to the voices from other cultures than I do to the voices of sisters in my own culture. Yet I am very aware of how much more difficult it is for women to be heard than it is for men. I have often found far more acceptance in the medical profession than in the church. And I have often spoken about issues facing women in the Third world. So this morning I have been blog surfing from one woman’s blog to another – what a rich array of material there is out there written by women I have not discovered yet.
A great place to start if you too want to listen more to the voices of women is with the emerging women’s blog and the extremely helpful blogroll listed there. In the next few days I intend to add most of them to my own blogroll.
My top recommendations (at least as a place to start:
Renita Weem’s entry Those Preaching Women , was particularly insightful for me.
Julie Clawsen’s Women in the Emerging Church
