12 Transcending Religion: Three Women’s Journeys to Broaden their Faith

Daughter of Creation - This Emotional Planet

In today’s episode we track the transformational events that caused us to question the religion of our childhood. Three perspectives from three very different women about broadening their faith. Out of a sense of injustice toward greater inclusion and more distinctly feminine expressions of faith.

Aelah Skye - From the Evangelical church back to the Episcopal church of her youth, Aelah has found that the presences of Christ’s loving energy has endured with her, even outside of Christianity. She explores her journey serving as a minister in an inter-faith context, as well as moving beyond the religious paradigm into yoga and emotional healing.

Toni Gripper - The daughter of sharecroppers in South Carolina, Toni got angry and curious about the unfairness of how women were being treated and taken advantage of in her Baptist church. She went on her own exploration of faith across the country and through many religious traditions to find a faith community that felt like LOVE to her.

Rev. Kate Roger - From an Irish Catholic family in the South, Kate learned early on that despite being called to the ministry, she wouldn’t be allowed to serve as a priest in the church of her youth. Her journey led her in and out of churches and faith expressions, finally becoming an ordained Reverend through the Agape fellowship, and initiating a community based on the wisdom of the feminine.

This is a joint podcast that will also be aired on She Spotlight, a podcast that's "committed to serving the evolutionary impulse of an emerging paradigm where the feminine and the masculine operate in concert, where both are respected, honored, and utilized in establishing a world that works for everyone."
