D.L. Mayfield and Peter Choi talk about our theme for March: Gender, Sexuality, and Justice. They address the harmful effects of Christian patriarchy and the fallacy of the “two-thousand-years-of-church-history-can’t-be-wrong” argument. Is there really such a thing as a timeless and monolithic Christian teaching on gender and sexuality? Is progressive Christianity truly free of patriarchal thinking? How do we overcome fears of the slippery slope? What does it look like to imagine new ways of being gendered? And how might we pursue this work together in community? A few resources mentioned:The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison BarrGod Is A Black Woman by Christena ClevelandD.L.'s forthcoming book on Dorothy Day: Unruly SaintResurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter by Kelly Brown DouglasPublic Vows: A History of Marriage and the Nation by Nancy F.
