Emerging Women

i was invited by Julie Clawson to submit a piece to the Emerging Women Blog on their series on women engaging sex/sexuality. It is my 'Sex-Crazed: America's Christian Subculture' piece i did a few weeks ago for The Ooze and it is up at the Emerging Women Blog TODAY. Here is what the Emerging Women Blog says about this series:

'Let’s talk about sex. No, we’re not just trying to drive up the blog hits. Just the fact that we are a group of women here discussing faith and real life lands us all sorts of interesting Google search hits. No, we just simply want to explore our diverse perspectives on sex.

Over the next week or two (starting this afternoon) most of the posts here at Emerging Women will focus on some aspect of sex. We will explore, among other topics, the freedoms women can find when we aren’t viewed as sex objects, the healing that can come to those who suffer from sexual abuse, the messages that modern American Christianity sends about sex, and our celebration of our sexuality. These posts have been submitted by a diverse group of women - each with her own unique perspective. They might disagree with each other - and that’s okay, that’s kinda the point of exploring perspectives.

So I invite you to respectfully engage in this dialogue. Join us on this exploration of sexuality as we learn from each other.'
