Description
Résumé:For those whose vocation calls them to respond to policies and practices that marginalize those already on the edges, these are challenging days and even frightening days. As a womanist and practical theologian, my vocation demands that I listen not just to the horror stories that I hear from my students, colleagues, or the texts we read (or from within) but it also demands I listen for the ways that the past and present converge to expose a way forward. This push toward the way forward is an ethical demand to act on the teaching that all humanity is created good and welcome. In this article I am suggesting groundwork for a womanist lesbian pastoral ethics, and this focused attempt arises out the urgency exposed by our current political situation.
