 It all started with a question: Wouldn't it be great if there were places to practice the religion you love—minus the sexism, racism, and homophobia?
Frustrated by the male-dominated leadership of their
churches, Kate Kelly and Eboni Marshall Turman founded Sacred Space, a multifaith gathering for women who have left their religious traditions and those still hoping to change their communities from within. Recent participants include women
who identify as Mormon, Jewish, Catholic, Shia Muslim, Eastern Orthodox,
Methodist, and Pentecostal. Read "All Women Welcome" in the December issue of Sojourners to learn how Sacred Space is providing refuge for women exhausted by the exclusion of their religious tradition.
