John Howard Yoder, Theology, women

RantWoman sometimes becomes morbidly fascinated with challenges within other faith communities. RantWoman feels called to hold, to pray, and to admit that really messy moral tangles can be Soooooo intriguing.

In that spirit, a link from Young Anabaptist Radicals about a prominent Mennonite theologian, John Howard Yoder. This item includes many other links and learning more of the story is on RantWoman's mean to do list, but not necessarily RantWoman's guaranteed to happen list. For one thing, RantWoman as a person of faith particularly concerned about women in ministry, broadly defined, already has enough to do sorting through unexamined privilege of various flavors, psychic wounds, and the perils of her own spiritual compost heap without plowing into something orders of magnitude more  complex and disturbing. But just in case RantWoman gets time or anyone else shares this morbid fascination.
