3. Girls Talk About Their Churches
4. Girls Talk About Sexuality And Their Bodies
5. Girls Talk About ViolenceAdditional Info
Adolescent girls are at particular risk in today’s society. They struggle to establish a mature identity after childhood and are barraged with conflicting messages about what it means to be female. In an often hostile and sometimes lethal culture, they also are subject to being exploited, harassed, manipulated, or even abused physically and sexually. But where do religion and spirituality fit? Davis sees spirituality as the realm where girls’ ultimate concerns intersect with their daily ones especially with relationships, lifestyle, and religious conviction. Here, based on more than 100 in-depth interviews with girls from a variety of religious, ethnic, and regional backgrounds, Davis shows how religion actually functions both to help and to hurt in girls’ search for authenticity. Davis’ interviews convey articulately and deeply how spirituality concerns girls’ surmounting hurdles to ground and affirm what they become. -

In 1637 Anne Hutchinson spoke in her own voice declaring that she had received a revelation directly from God.

But Anne became her own person and a model of womanhood for us over four and one-half centuries later.
Sister Blandina Segale found her own voice when she stopped a lynch mob and kept the Billy the Kid gang from scalping doctors in Colorado in the 1870s.

5. “Heirs Of God, Heirs With Christ”
6. “The Living Father”Additional Info
What does it mean to confess that God is “The Father of our Lord Jesus Chrst”? The Promise of the Father begins by showing that Judaism’s claim of God as “Father” never attached an ontological gender or “masculine” essence to God. Instead of setting the standard for the conduct for human personal fathers or men in general as some argue, God’s identity as “Father” served as an example for the entire community of faith as one who promotes mercy, justice, and humility. Jesus’ address to God as “Father” thus did not introduce a new private experience of intimacy with the divine, rather, it evoked Israel’s ancient and corporate hope of God’s saving power and covenant faithfulness. Above all then, to speak of God as “Father” signifies the redemptive and life-giving work of God and then only subsequently to human experience of that work. Christians can confess God as “Father of Jesus Christ” because God was first “Father” to the people of Israel and to Israel’s Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth and to the followers of Jesus. -
