A Church for Starving Artists wrote a blog post on the passing of Mary Daly here… For some reason I had missed that news.

Like many of you, Mary Daly was the first feminist Christian writer I ever read (though I am sure there are some who will dispute whether or not she was a “Christian” and to them I say, “get over it!”)

She brought a stunning ray of light into a dank, dusty way of doing theology. She challenged old hermeneutics and allowed many women, myself included, to see a clearer picture of Christ beyond the earthly depiction in the Gospels. She also tackled some pretty sacred ivory towers… things I am gutless to deal with at this stage of my life.

Rest in peace, Mary. And thanks…
