Making Waves

Making Waves is committed to addressing issues related to women, justice and theology. It strives to give voice to diverse expressions, and to connect people who are part of the wider network of women and men working to free church and society from racism, ageism, sexism, and classism, and from teachings and practices that discriminate against women. It addresses issues from an ecumenical faith perspective and seeks to articulate a vision of God’s world where all may have abundant life.
