| Summary: | R. Marie Griffith and Sarah Coakley suggest that feminist ecumenism across the evangelical-liberal spectrum is valuable for feminist studies of religion and theologies. In this context, I trace the conversation that has arisen around the idea of adopting submission' vis-à-vis the Christian notion of kenosis, and turn it in a new direction. I argue that Coakley's apophatically cruciform understanding of submission in contemplative prayer contrasts with womanist approaches like that of Delores Williams. Drawing on Williams' considerations of atonement and Friedrich Schleiermacher's understanding of prayer, I offer incarnational submission' as a way to acknowledge the value of prayerful submission while avoiding its potentially oppressive features. |
