All You Need Is Love Jennifer Castro

What does it mean to love in the midst of a world rife with struggle and oppression? All You Need Is Love: Honoring the Diversity of Women's Voices in Theology was the first Women Doing Theology Conference organized by the Women in Leadership Project of Mennonite Church USA. The papers included in this collection were selected from those presented at the conference and reflect the diversity of voices of women doing theology across the denomination. These presentations created space for discussion and reflection on what it means to choose love in the face of these struggles. Presenters and conference participants faced these realities head on - tensions between women of greater and lesser privilege, the need to listen deeply to a wide variety of women's voices in matters of faith and theology, the difficulty of putting love into action and standing in solidarity with struggling sisters in our local communities and around the world. And through this collection, we hope to bring some of these realities, these challenges, these encounters to a wider audience. Contributors include Laura L. Brenneman, Tracy Neufeld, Christine J.
