FAR Hiatus: A Needed Break
Upgrade Complete – Reopened!
We are excited to have our new format and hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to Xochitl, we are back up and running in only two days. We needed to upgrade our site because our old theme was no longer being supported. We are hopeful that this will solve the issues people have been having in posting comments.
Change always involves new challenges and we assume this will be no different. If you notice any problems or would like to comment, please let us know by responding to this post or by email /feminismandreligionblog@gmail.com/.
We are excited to have our new format and hope you enjoy it. As always we are so grateful to the FAR community for supporting this important work.
And thank you for your patience.
Janet (with Xochitl) FAR co-weavers
Closing for Upgrade
Dear Community,
As many of you know leaving comments on our site has often been a trial with the WordPress format that we use. We believe that leaving comments and having active discussions is one of the many gifts of FAR, and so this issue has been particularly frustrating.

We have been getting messages from people who have been frustrated with WordPress because there are times when WordPress makes it difficult to post a comment. We value comments and are frustrated as well when this happens.
UPDATE: the best way to comment (even with no WordPress account) is that after typing in your comment, a window will come up to fill in my name, email, etc.: fill in the two pieces that are required: 1) your email and 2) your name – and then just that should be enough for you to be able to submit your comment.

Rosemary Radford Ruether, 1936-2022
Catholic Feminist Theologian
Pioneering Catholic feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether, accompanied by her daughters Mimi and Becky, died peacefully on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 3 PM PDT in Pomona, California after a long illness. Arrangements are pending with more information to follow.
Dr. Ruether was a scholar activist par excellence. She was respected and beloved by students, colleagues, and collaborators around the world for her work on ecofeminist and liberation theologies, anti-racism, Middle East complexities, women-church, and many other topics.

Womanspirit Ireland has organized an event for this coming Sunday, May 22nd, to exchange cultural themes with Ukrainian Refugees and to raise funds for the 30,000 refugees who have already arrived in Ireland, and the many more expected. All donations will go to the group: “IrelandforUkraine” to maximize the funding for Ukrainians in Ireland and those still in Ukraine.
FAR is happy to note that one our regular contributors, Laura Shannon, is part of the program. The event will include stories, songs, poetry, beautiful Ukrainian embroideries, rich with symbols, and an opportunity to reflect on the brokenness of the situation that brings folks at this time.

Enter Katie M. Deaver at the end of 2016. She is the superhero who so smoothly swooped in as Kate stepped back to attend grad school. Katie shared all the values and ethos of FAR – it was the most organic match we could have hoped for. Truly FAR couldn’t have survived without each of them.
FAR is an all-volunteer effort and now, again three years later, we are looking to bring on a next team member. From the very start, we have been of the mindset that the more voices and perspectives we can bring into constructive, community-building dialogue, the better. So…might you be up and ready to contribute to this collaborative feminist task? Continue reading “FAR Project Intern Applications Due Sept. 15, 2019”
FAR Project Intern – Application Window Extended to Sept. 15, 2019
It’s about every three years when we at Feminism and Religions put out a solicitation for a new intern to join our team. Back in 2013 we had the great privilege of having Kate Brunner join us. She came on as an intern and stayed to become one of our permanent co-weavers who help run the day-to-day behind-the-scenes of this collaborative project. She reorganized the structure and rhythm of how we run things and made it easier for us to bring in the next person. Enter Katie M. Deaver at the end of 2016.
