On September 11, 2001, California psychotherapist Kathlyn Schaaf was overwhelmed by a powerful thought. Watching the violent images on television, she suddenly felt the time had come to “gather the women.”

Wow. She's crazy as a loon.

“When you get Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, and Sufi women all practicing their faith in the same room,” she recently said, “another religion emerges, which is feminine spirituality.”

Who would have guessed?

Many women are following the fate of UN Resolution 1325, which, if passed, will mandate that women be involved in all peace negotiations.

Yeah, we can ask the Serbs about the postive effect that Madeline Albright had in avoiding war though her efforts at Ramboullet!

I've met some, worked with others who shared this "spiritual" feminism and renewal. It is so fluid that each group is different.

Some are sincere and open and others are politically charged and disturbing. Some of these women use the spiritual aspect as some global force which I find creepy.

Like everything, discernment has to be used. I'd like to think that woman can effect change, but anytime feminism rears its head, the uglier political aspects interfere.

a fusion of spirituality and social justice

"Social" justice is injustice; all neologisms which include "social" as a modifier must be read as the negation of their putative object. If you advocate for justice, fine and good. If you advocate for "social" justice you are advocating for something other than justice and dishonestly calling it "justice."

"Women are becoming increasingly clear and vocal about the need to integrate an emerging set of feminine-based values into the culture." Would it be too much to ask that these 'feminine-based values' be enumerated for us common folk, before endorsing the inveigling of our culture?

Well .. since my faith is not included in this "group" - I'd say it's not something I would want to seek out. Obviously, by their choice of "religious" groups, they don't want the Holy Spirit there.

I was overwhelmed by a powerful thought on 9/11, too. I felt it was time to blow up the Middle East.
