Consecrated Womanhood


Book Description

The work contains multiple examples of strong women in Scripture, but what makes it reasonable today is the author's detailed and cautious expression of how the Bible has come down on a large number of societal problems as well as how, historically, the Bible has always been a progressive and enlightening book, that's appropriate in all times and places. This work is an impressive sermon, preached in the First Congregational Church Portland, Oregon by Frederic Rowland Marvin, with an introductory notice by Frances Power Cobbe. It was delivered in 1903 during the women's ballot movement on the controversial subject of women in administration. Consecrated Womanhood is like a breath of fresh air for those who have long been dissatisfied by the prevailing tendency in Christian churches to deny to women the privileges and responsibilities of holy offices and duties. The preacher opens his discourse with the statement that "the Bible honored woman when every other book was blind to the true dignity of her character."




New Faces, New Possibilities


Book Description

Religious sisters have created educational and healthcare systems over the past two hundred years that have transformed the Catholic community in the United States. Through their ministry, sisters have served waves of immigrants and those pushed to the margins. The growing cultural diversity of newer sisters and the diminishing number of older sisters, therefore, is both a challenge and a creative moment to be critically examined. This book examines these changes in culture and ethnicity among sisters, the structural impact of diminishing numbers, and the creative response to this new reality for religious life in the United States. In it, sisters from a variety of generations, cultures, and institutes join with the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) researchers to examine and reflect on CARA's recent research findings and their impact on the life and ministry of sisters today.




Consecrated Spirits


Book Description

Many silent and forgotten voices are brought to life in this volume which presents the accumulated wisdom of women mystics, theologians, spiritual directors, poets, visionaries, mothers and activists over eleven centuries. Featured writers include Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, Bernadette of Lourdes, Bridget of Sweden, Wendy Beckett, Joan Chittister, and many more, some translated into English for the first time. Their concerns are broad ranging and they reflect on: Prayer, Family life, a woman's lot, suffering, comfort and consolation, women's ministry and its restrictions and more. All these varied voices are linked by a common thread: in every age women have sought authentic spiritual self expression. This anthology is an inspiration for all women today who are seeking opportunity to define and realise their charisma.
