| Making No Apologies for Feminist Theology, Rev. Welton Gaddy, and More |
| March 12, 2015 |
Summary: Feminist theology: It's so much more than calling God 'she' or 'wind.' Two feisty theologians argue it's really a question of who gets to say. And Rev. Welton Gaddy reflects on 16 years as an interfaith rabble-rouser. |

| Father-Lord-Ruler-King: A Feminist Debunking |
March 12, 2015 |

We often hear about Abraham, the Biblical father of Jews, Christians and Muslims, but not so much about his wife, Sarah. We hear God described as a Lord, a King, a white-bearded father in the sky; but rarely is God called a mother, a nurturer or a woman. Two scholars, a Christian and a Jew, explain how feminist theology is calling for new words, new blessings, and new mindsets. From June 2009.

| Rev. Gaddy: Sixteen Years as an Interfaith Rabble-Rouser |
March 12, 2015 |
|
Rev. Welton Gaddy just might be Maureen's doppelganger: he's a fierce leader in the interfaith movement who also hosts a radio show about religion every week. This week, he sits down with us to reflect on his sixteen years as president of the Interfaith Alliance, a progressive non-profit working to fight religious bigotry in American politics. He retired from his post in December.

America is no longer a majority Protestant country, the religiously unaffiliated are now one of the largest 'religious' groups in the nation, and half of Buddhists are single. These are just a few of the blockbuster findings revealed in a huge new survey of more than 50,000 Americans, the American Values Atlas. Our favorite religion number-cruncher gives us the details.
