Brie continues her exploration on "Composting Christianity" --how Christianity became empire, how it influenced the foundations of the US Government and politics, and how we might metabolize domination rhetoric into a more communal and ecological worldview--with Karen Jo Torjesen, Ph.D.  Together they discuss Dr.Torjesen's book "When Women Were Priests", and the systematic erasure of women leadership in the Christian movement...and how some of these philosophical "trends" wound up becoming part of the United States constitution. Unknowing is all about letting go of what we think we know, to make room for what could be...and in this season Brie invites listeners to consider what beliefs/structures/ideas related to Christianity need to be let go of in order to make room for a more related, ecological and creative worldview. Dr. Torjesen is the Margo L. Goldsmith chair of Women's studies and Religion at Claremont Graduate School in California, and an associate of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity, and is widely regarded as a leading authority on women in ancient Christianity.  To purchase her book "When Women Were Priests" click here.
