Where are the Lutheran Feminists & Theologians?

The past 2 1/2 years, since my last post here, I've concentrated on Face Book, e-mails and on rare occasion Twitter to speak on topics related to Lutheran Feminist Theology.
There are Lutheran Feminists blogging such as Caryn D. Riswold  http://www.patheos.com/blogs/carynriswold/

In Mary J. Streufert's 2010 book "Transformative Lutheran Theologies, Feminist, Womanist and Mujerista Perspectives (Fortress Press), contributors to various chapters include prof. Riswold, prof. Alicia Vargas (PLTS), prof. Marit Trelstad (PLU), Beverly Wallace - Shaw Divinity School, prof. Deanna A. Thompson among others.

There is also the annual meeting of the Lutheran Women in Theological and religious Studies, which includes some of those named above and others who gather. The November 2015 meeting included topics such as "Setting the Context: A Vision for Public Engagement"  - Caryn D. Riswold, Being Lutheran and Coming Out Feminist on the Other Side of the Gutenberg Parenthesis, and a panel discussion including Beverly Wallace and Deanna Thompson.

The Lutheran Feminists are out there, teaching, writing and lecturing.
Feminist Lutheran pastors are preaching and teaching in the local context.

I've started blogging again so I'll post in the coming weeks and months.

That's the Word.
