Feminism is the theory that women should have political, economic, and social rights equal to those of men. This session explores points of agreement and points of disagreement among feminists with the goal of increasing dialogue. We often agree with the importance of experience, community, reversal of positions and creativity, but disagree about the nature of the Bible, nature of God, and the meaning and extent of sin.
