Readings from J. Moltmann, Theology of Hope. The course will analyze the women's movement as essentially a spiritual revolution that can transform the church's being in the world. Like the fall course on theological development, it will be a ground breaking enterprise. The precise manner in which it will be worked out will depend in part upon the [experience] and creative input from the first semester course. It will deal with a number of revolutionary concepts. I. Sisterhood as a revolutionary phenomenon. II. The church and sexual caste. III. Spiritual expatriates: sisterhood as anti-church. IV. The power of presence: sisterhood as church. A. As a space set apart. B. As charismatic community. C. As exodus community. D. As community of promise. E. As second order institution. V. Toward the future: the sisterhood of man. * Spring 1972 Theology 195
