A religious education curriculum in feminist thealogy for adults and older youth by Shirley Ann Ranck.
Note by Elizabeth Fisher: This program was originally published in 1987 by the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Religious education division. It was very popular, provided perspectives on a variety of issues missing from Unitarian Universalist practices. This program inspired me to undertake what became Rise Up and Call Her Name.
See Shirley Ranck’s Foreword to Rise Up & Call Her Name to learn more.
