    Rainbows at the Crossroads

    Activating the Moral Power of Caring and Sharing

    Rainbows represent diversity that encourages hope, joy, and wholeness.
    Crossroads are points of convergence that offer direction-setting options.

    Utilizing an internet based format which is quick paced and modular, this proposed website features fictional exchanges between a mature woman and man. Storytelling, life reviews, conversations, and background notes are interwoven. The illustrated text is linked to related video and audio snippets, offering an entertaining and informative public education experience.

    Themes include social responsibility, value of diversity, personal choice, and whether history matters. Conversations contain flashbacks to turning points and personal aha! insights. They both relate encounters with younger people, elders, and ancestors. Reviews of hard won victories are interwoven with contemporary dilemmas. Resources that support follow-up on these concerns are included.

    Elizabeth Fisher and Shirley Ranck—

    “Authors of germinal religious education curricula focused on feminist spirituality and woman-honoring traditions, originally published by the UU Women and Religion program, their work with Rise Up & Call Her Name and Cakes for the Queen of Heaven continues to change the lives of women around the country by introducing them to a vision of what the world could be like if the divine was imaged as female.” *

We relate new interpretations of old archetypes to present social and political hot points replacing “hate talk” with positive modeling. We correct the record regarding myths and symbolism of the apple, the tree of knowledge and the serpent and creatively imagine new possibilities using truth and humor to diffuse attacks and hold up positive possibilities.
