Cakes for the Queen of Heaven

Cake-curricula-covers

A religious education curriculum in feminist thealogy for adults and older youth by Shirley Ann Ranck.

Note by Elizabeth Fisher: This program was originally published in 1987 by the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Religious education division. It was very popular, provided perspectives on a variety of issues missing from Unitarian Universalist practices. This program inspired me to undertake what became Rise Up and Call Her  Name.

See Shirley Ranck’s Foreword to Rise Up & Call Her Name to learn more.

CAKES FOR THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN

Volume One: IN ANCIENT TIMES and Volume Two: ON THE THRESHOLD, the 2007-08 updates of the popular feminist theology curriculum, can be ordered from UU Women and Religion, www.uuwr.org.

Cakes introduces participants to ancient Goddesses, weaving their stories together with major concerns of women today.
