It looks good in a thesis but I start to doubt it once the worship team starts tuning their instruments. </i></b><br /><br />You've actually tried going back since writing the thesis, and wrote about it as a guest piece on a prominent women's faith blog at http://www.magpie-girl.com/20091221/pagans-christians-and-the-winter-solstice/ .

Most especially if the message is "canned" and read from an old script.<br /><br /><b><i><br />I’m also curious about how applications of this model may serve other cohorts experiencing “otherness” in the church.

In some ways I can see this new class of political feminine evangelicals as a radical story, upsetting the old narratives in religion and politics. It will upset the tidiness of self-reliance feminism being an ally of secular or leftist agendas. On the right wing, it will be a devaluation of Old Grey War Horses (e.g. McCain) and redneck-hobby men (hunting, guns and hot rod cars), replaced with whatever the Sarah Palin Army likes to do or talk about.this.is.lance.millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165673069819044872noreply@blogger.com
