“Christians can’t be feminists,” I was told. “Look at Ephesians, chapter 5. 1 Timothy, chapter 2.” It was 1968, and I was a born-again Christian starting my third year of college. Suddenly women’s inequality had become news.
I’d never noticed that women were second-class citizens, but in my subconscious mind I’d always known it.
I realized that my mother and grandmother had longed for equal status in our society, and I felt an instant commitment to working for gender equality.
This blog is about my journey, about Christian women who have demanded equality in the past, and about women of faith today who are just now realizing their fully equal status among followers of Jesus.
Yet there are still people teaching that women can only be “helpers” of men. Join me and others in re-reading our Bibles and freeing women.

I began this blog in 2008 in memory of Martha Puebla and in honor of Maria Riveros.
On a spring night in 2003, Martha Puebla, age 16, was shot in the face while sitting outside her home in Sun Valley, California, near Los Angeles. Her death was ordered by a gang member on trial for a murder she had witnessed.
On July 13, 2008, in San Ignacio, Paraguay, Maria Riveros took her pregnant 16-year-old daughter to the home of an obstetrician and asked her to perform an abortion. The fetus of about 4 mo. was buried outside the home, but there were complications and the next day Maria had to rush her daughter to a hospital, where a hysterectomy was performed. The obstetrician and her daughter, a nurse, were arrested and charged with performing an abortion.
This blog is dedicated to Martha, Maria and all women who courageously negotiate their lives in this world filled with gang warfare and international warfare, poverty and wealth, drug trafficking and addiction, and lack of access to birth control, legal abortion, and other health care. Posts range from political commentary to In Memoriam sketches of women who have died, both well-known women and lesser-known but well-loved friends.

A writer’s journal. Questions that arise as I work on Off Track: Confessions of a Feminist Christian: Structure, theme, length, finding the golden thread, characters, narration vs. scene.

About abandoned dogs... How I picked up a starving dog near Tuba City, Arizona, and learned that she had TVT — a transmissible venereal tumor. How I learned that Rhodesian ridgebacks have a strong prey drive, especially toward cats.

I was one of 295,000 women in the US to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2014 — but not one of the 40,000 women who died from the disease in this year. My journey through the bad news and into becoming a survivor. Updates on ways to evade and overcome breast cancer.
