| Summary: | This article argues that a pastoral sensibility that takes into account research into 'gender creativity' (the term coined by Diane Ehrensaft, adapted from Donald W. Winnicott's phrase 'individual creativity') in children allows places of worship to be better sanctuaries for authentic living. One way this pastoral sensibility can be expressed is through a gender-creative reading of scripture, demonstrated here by positioning the visit of the Canaanite woman to Jesus in Matthew 15:21-29 as a model for advocacy on behalf of gender-nonconforming children. |
