Comment

This entire thing needs to be rewritten, for obvious reasons (unencylopedic writing, mostly). --Xyzzyplugh 14:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this article be entitled "Womanist Theology"? Jsherri 11:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edited Lead Paragraph

Deleted:

  • "According to Emilie Townes, womanist theology must also take seriously the intersection of class, as well as race and gender."
  • "The goals of womanist theology include interrogating the social construction of black womanhood in relation to the black community and to assume a liberatory perspective so African American women can live emboldened lives within the African American community and within the larger society. Some of its tasks are excavating the life stories of poor women of African descent in the church and to understanding the "languages" of black women."

Added sentences with citation:

  • "Womanist theology" was first used in an article in 1987 by Dr. Delores Williams.
  • "Scholars who espouse womanist theology are not monolithic nor do they adopt each aspect of Walker's definition. Yet, these scholars often find kinship in their anti-sexist, antiracist and anti-classist commitments to feminist and liberation theologies."
