Welcome home Milan
Today SRH and I got iPhones. We’ve been waiting for years to do this, and now we made the switch. One of the things you do when you begin to sync all your information (which I’m in the middle of doing now) is that you give your iPhone a name. I decided on the unisex [...]
Reflections from a Queer Wedding
It’s not surprising that I have been thinking about my own wedding during my brother-in-law’s Evangelical Wedding feast. SRH & I both have reflected on our time in Toronto, ON, Canada when we married in 2006. We had journeyed together for some seven years prior to marrying. We think that developing a deep relationship is [...]
Thank you Martin Luther King, Jr. (& others)
Despite our ongoing efforts to address the many expressions of violence, MLK still is a point of departure for considering ways in which we think about humanity. After all, he was trained as a theologian and makes several insightful remarks concerning theological anthropology and ethics. I’m thankful for the people of color who have challenged [...]
Our Whole Life by Adrienne Rich
Our Whole Life by Adrienne Rich Our whole life a translation the permissible fibs and now a knot of lies eating at itself to get undone Words bitten thru words ~~ meanings burnt-off like paint under the blowtorch All those dead letters rendered into the oppressor’s language Trying to tell the doctor where it hurts [...]

Mary Daly 1928-2010, a redux
I received the following from Mary Hunt, co-director of WATER. It is an important reminder for what feminism is and the history Mary Daly leaves. Her contributions, alluded to in this post, are tremendous. Mary Daly embodied a sense of critical analysis which created (for me and others) a horizon of intellectual change where feminism [...]
Race, Class, Gender OR How brown do you have to be to be called Latina/o, Chicana/o, and/or Mestizo/a
I’ve just gotten out of my class “Race, Class, & Gender.” It was a great introductory class where we spent some intentional time around defining “race,” “class,” and “gender.” As if these “categories” can be fixed. They aren’t stable categories, but for the purpose of this class, we sought to create a matrix for our [...]

Mary Daly's notice in the Boston Globe
Fiercely and playfully — often at the same time — Mary Daly used words to challenge the basic precepts of the Catholic Church and Boston College, where she was on the faculty for more than 30 years. Dr. Daly emerged as a major voice in the burgeoning women’s movement with her first book, “The Church [...]
