In \u003ci\u003eWomen, Ritual, and Power\u003c\/i\u003e, Elizabeth Ursic gives the reader insight into four Christian communities that worship God with female imagery, both as a worship focus and a community identity. These Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Catholic congregations operate within their established church denominations and are led by either ordained Protestant ministers or vowed Catholic sisters. Because expressing God-as-She can expose strident claims for maintaining God-as-He, this book shows not only how patriarchy continues to operate in churches today, but also how it is being successfully challenged through liturgy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Ursic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51065507512612,"sku":"9781438452852","price":72.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_5eea3089-ff41-4af7-9c33-6a6fd0ff04da.jpg?v=1757702697","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/women-ritual-and-power-1757518308575","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
