Is it possible for a person to be a good feminist and a good Christian at the same time? The answer is, how is it possible to be a good Christian without being a good feminist?
A feminist spirituality would change marriage, change society, change Church, change the very definition of sanctity. Those patterns touch the core of Christianity as we know it. Those things call us to the Christianity of Jesus as we know it. Those concepts would turn the world upside down. They are holy-making ideas for our time. No wonder they threaten the system so much.
--from Heart of Flesh by Joan Chittister (Eerdmans)
