Anne Thurston, who lectures in theology at the Kimmage Institute in Dublin, explains her own experiences of sexuality, giving birth, mothering, baking bread, and serving in the Catholic church as the basis of a vibrant and down-to-earth embodied theology. Thurston's ideas about creative pain, nurturing, compassion, justice, and discipleship are bold and passionate examples of feminine wisdom. Along with other Christian writers on the same wavelength, she opens up even more doors for theological discourse.
