Product Description
"Marjorie Procter-Smith, a leading voice on feminist liturgical tradition, offers a powerful perspective on women and public prayer in Praying With Our Eyes Open. this new and important study refuses to sidestep the issues, no matter how politically explosive, on its way to the heart of the matter, which is: women's bodies and women's blood are sacred and central to institutional prayer and praise. With solid scholarship and an easy-to-read style, Procter-Smith shows why it is so difficult, and at times even dangerous, for women to pray aloud from the heart publicly in church and synagogue, and why the religious establishment is prone to misunderstand and misinterpret both women and their words as essentially heretical. This book provides a curriculum for women to claim the power to speak honestly to God in public settings and for all those in authority to learn to interpret the language of those who are only now finding their voice. It belongs in all congregations and in college and seminary classes where the issues can be debated and the real heresies of discrimination and exclusion can finally be put to rest." -- Miriam Therese Winter, Hartford Seminary, Hartford, Connecticut
