Evangelical Feminist?
July 10th, 2011 by Jonalyn
Caryn Rivandeniera posts on the trouble with Democrats including evangelical feminists as serious biz at Her-meneutics blog hosted by Christianity Today. My favorite quote came when she pulled from Anne Graham Lotz (Bill Graham’s daughter), a woman who has had men turn their backs to her while she spoke to mixed audiences. In her Washington [...]

“You’re Only a Woman”: Spiritual Abuse and the Independent Fundamental Baptists
April 14th, 2011 by Jonalyn
The father is the hammer. The mother is the chisel. The child is the stone (please note changes from email). I don’t receive theology from a woman. When Eve gave Adam theology, the whole word got damned to hell. The Bible says man is the head of the wife. The Bible was written by men. [...]

Interviews on Writing, Speaking and Controversy
December 3rd, 2010 by Jonalyn
Most of my friends, the longtime ones, would tell you that my plans as a young woman don’t look like my life today. I didn’t want to go to college, instead I wanted to be married fairly young. I wanted to teach at a public high school until I got pregnant. I wanted to have twelve–yes [...]

October 17th, 2010 by Jonalyn
So these two ideas are not necessarily related, but they do summarize 2 writing projects (one small and one big) I’ve been working on. As I’m writing in several places, I thought it would be good for your sanity and organization to know that this blog will keep you updated on new places to read [...]

Abortion – Listening to Both Sides
May 30th, 2010 by Jonalyn
In a Gallup poll released last month, I learned that 47% of Americans consider themselves pro-life, 45% pro-choice. As William McGurn wrote in the Wall Street Journal (“Gallup’s Pro-Life America: When Will the Media Reflect America on Abortion?“) this week, “Our strong moral qualms about abortion have not gone away.” However, most Americans still want [...]

What Does Buddha Offer and What Does Jesus Offer?
November 12th, 2009 by Jonalyn
I’ve been in dialog with several Buddhists from around the world in my blog post “Jesus Outshines Buddha. Read the comments to see our dialog. From my interaction with them, I’ve begun to believe that it would be helpful for me and for you, my readers, to encounter some positive comparisons between these very different [...]

Making Spiritual Small Talk
May 22nd, 2009 by Jonalyn
All religions offer a way to redeem and rebuild humanity. I had lunch last week with a Muslim woman in Malibu who has found that the practices of Islam offer her a place to “fit”, a spiritual home to feather. When I asked her about particular questions, the kind that keep philosopher types up late [...]
