“I want…churches to be more of a living organism than a fixed institution, responsive to those within and around them

• to be relational in structure – to eschew hierarchical organization and creatively explore new forms of leadership that facilitate power-sharing

I also want for them not to fall into the age-old pattern of erasing women’s work from history – so I bring the work of radical feminist philosophers and feminist theologians with me to research with the Emerging Church.”
