On the 40th anniversary of the irregular ordination of the group of
women who became known as the "Philadelphia Eleven," Darlene O Dell
introduces us to the women involved, the paths that brought them
together on that that momentous day - and what has changed (or not
changed) in the life of the church over the intervening years. This
is the first book to document the story in first-person interviews.
It includes a Foreword by Carter Heyward. "
To release in anticipation of the 40th anniversary of the
ordinations Gathers the bulk of Sue Hiatt s writings, never before
published Reflections from Sue s peers and colleagues As we
approach the 40th anniversary of the irregular ordination of the
group of women who became known as the Philadelphia Eleven, Carter
Heyward and Janine LeHane gather the writings of Sue Hiatt,
considered bishop to the women and leader of the movement that led
to that momentous occasion. Quiet, introspective, passionate,
strong-minded, Sue Hiatt s road to Christian feminism began as a
teenager. These writings, alongside material by Carter Heyward and
others critical to the movement, are a vital source of study,
reflection, and inspiration."

Heyward directly addresses our vulnerability to terror, especially
its religious and political aspects. Examining six images of
God--God of War, God of Peace, God as Father, God as Spirit. God in
us, and God in all--the author locates an authentic religious
response in a healthy balancing of God-images, while religiously
motivated violence stems from absolutist theories that fix on only
one image of an inexhaustible deity. Stressing mutuality and
openness, Heyward sketches a creative Christian response to
violence, terror, and war.
Hear the call to overcome today's conservative rhetoric of hate and
bring virtue back to Christian living... While right-wing
conservatives dare to call themselves Christians as they tear down
equality and justice, commit horrible acts of violence, and fan the
flames of fascism in America, Carter Heyward issues a call to
action for Christians to truly hear God's message of peace and
love. This book attempts to show ways in which, through our highly
privatized theologies and personal spiritualities, we American
Christians have played a major role in building and securing
structures of injustice in American life. Rising tides of white
supremacy, threats to women's reproductive freedoms and to basic
human rights for gender and sexual minorities, the widening divide
between rich and poor, and increasing natural disasters and the
extinction of Earth's species all point to a world crying out for
God's wisdom. To move forward as followers of Jesus, we must first
call out these ingrained cultural attitudes for what they are-the
seven deadly sins of white Christian nationalism. We must commit
ourselves to building a more perfect union in small personal ways
and in large public acknowledgment of what the culture of white
Christian nationalism is doing to our country and world.
A theological resource for spiritual transformation and social
change in which Heyward rethinks the figure and import of Jesus.
Attempts to demonstrate the radical relationality and
interdependence of all human beings and God. Analyzing the
inadequacies in traditional Christian treatments of moral evil and
moral good, the author attempts to construct new theological
foundations for soteriology and Christology.
