Men are making a variety of responses to feminism within the
churches. Some react angrily and uncritically to the challenges
which feminism poses to Christian belief and practice. Others are
paralysed by guilt, fear and shame. Some men welcome the full and
equal participation of women in the life of the Christian community
and in society generally, but these changes involve a massive shift
in masculine roles and identity - a transition which men have yet
to negotiate with any hope or confidence. This book arises from a
rich store of conversation and pastoral work with both women and
men. It takes the challenges of feminism as an opportunity for men
to reshape their own self-understanding. It encourages men to learn
from women, to explore the anxieties which lurk behind the power
structures and processes of patriarchy, and to accept that abusive
gender regimes are harmful for men as well as women. The literature
and ideas of the men's movement are critically examined, and the
limitations and creative possibilities of masculine theology are
exposed, as the book works towards a new ecumenical vision in which
difference in gender and sexuality is celebrated and the church's
ancient fears of sexual and erotic ambiguity are laid aside. A
final chapter of poems, stories and meditations forms a spiritual
playground in which men and women alike may trace connections
between religious belief, sexual desire and gender identity.
