Stirring Waters Summary

Stirring Waters: Feminist Liturgies for Justice by Diann L. Neu

For years, religious leaders and communities around the world have turned to the Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual (WATER) for feminist liturgies for justice. Now-in celebration of the organization's thirty-fifth anniversary-Stirring Waters gathers fifty-two of these beautiful liturgies, ready-made to help your community venerate powerful women of faith, develop a richer and deeper spirituality, and take real action for justice.

Use the liturgies in this book as a resource to nourish the souls and focus the passions of the people you serve. Help them reflect on great women like the prophetess Miriam and Julian of Norwich; provoke and disturb them on occasions like Earth Day and World Water Day; energize them on International Women's Day and Black History Month; and rejuvenate drooping spirits with liturgies of healing and gratitude. Never again will you scramble or struggle to provide community prayer that is worthwhile, nourishing, and even electrifying.

Stirring Waters Reviews

Stirring Waters is exactly what the church needs right now: an inclusive, creative, thoughtful resource that draws deeply from the wells of women, past and present. Neu does a masterful job of bringing the feminist spirit to life through prayers, poems, and hymns. I can't wait to host these liturgies in my community.Jessie Bazan, M.Div., editor and co-author of Dear Joan Chittister: Conversations with Women in the Church
This book is a gift and an inspiration for women's groups and faith communities seeking to drink from the spiritual well of women's wisdom across time, cultures, and space through liturgical action. Beautifully written by a foremost liturgist, it reclaims the power of rituals as a source of hope, bonding, and imagination for actions to change the world. I recommend it highly.Kwok Pui-lan, William F. Cole Professor of Christian Theology and Spirituality, emerita, Episcopal Divinity School
In our time, traditional liturgies from Christian Churches lack new resources. Diann Neu offers us an alternative. Stirring Waters rouses static traditions, enlivening them with new energy. With deep sensibility to the cries for justice, particularly for women's lives, Diann designed creative liturgies which celebrate our women ancestors and invite their stories to speak to our daily joys and pains. Her work inspires us to foster new relations among women around the world, as well as between women and the planet.Dr. Ivone Gebara, ecofeminist philosopher and theologian, Brazil
