Summary

While many share the vision of a more inclusive and just church for the 21st century, practical strategies of reform and renewal are still desperately needed. How can women, in particular, find inspiration for creative fidelity in challenging times? This strikingly direct and practical volume brings together the voices of leading Catholic women theologians from across the U.S., who draw from tradition to address modern-day challenges and offer stratgeies for reform and renewal.
