About the Author:
Letty M. Russell was one of the world's foremost feminist theologians and a longtime member of the faculty of Yale Divinity School. She died on July 12, 2007, at age 77. She was one of the first women ordained in the United Presbyterian Church and served as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of the Ascension in East Harlem for ten years. She joined the faculty of Yale Divinity School in 1974 and retired in 2001. She wrote and edited numerous books, including Church in the Round: Feminist Interpretation of the Church, Dictionary of Feminist Theologies (with J. Shannon Clarkson),and Inheriting Our Mothers' Gardens: Feminist Theology in Third World Perspective (with Kwok Pui Lan, Ada Maria Isasi Dias, and Katie Cannon).
From Library Journal:
This collection of essays by members of the Commission on Faith and Order of the National Council of Churches recounts their struggle to understand AIDS through biblical study, case study of persons with AIDS, reflection, and a search for the meaning of AIDS for the church. This struggle was occasioned in part by liaisons with the Metropolitan Community Churches (see below). AIDS is presented not only as a problem but also as a challenge for church renewal--so that the church becomes broader, freer, and less dualistic and the disease is not seen as God's instrument. Essential.
