Resistance: Confronting Violence, Power and Abuse Within Peace Churches
Edited by Cameron Altaras and Carol Penner
If it’s not safe in the church, where is it safe? Are churches complicit in supporting racism, colonialism, and heterosexism? How do churches excuse sexual violence and abuses of power? Cameron and her long-time friend and colleague, Carol Penner, feminist theologian and professor, invited storytellers, academics, poets, administrators, students, activists and pastors to bring these questions to life through stories of personal and systemic violence and betrayals when theology is weaponized.
