For Thinking Women of Faith

Byhenry

. . . oh, and pardon me for stopping by to read and enjoying the blog! (HT: 42)

For a break from white male Christianity, try Renita Weems’ blog Something Within, subtitled “For Thinking Women of Faith about matters of church, race, gender, sex, values, culture, justice, spirituality, and, oh yeah, God.”
