Edited by: Kay Vander Vort, Joan H. Timmerman, Eleanor Lincoln
Description: Walking in Two Worlds was an experience before it became a book. It is the compilation of the presentations of twenty-one contributors to the Theological Insights program at The College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota. That program became a spiritual community for many, turning the "raw experience" of women into reflection and that reflection into empowerment.
Topics: In the Beginning: Reflections on Genesis; Encountering Myth; How Myths Define Women; How Culture Forms Us; Language: Binding and Freeing; Living in Transition; Anger: Chaotic and Creative; Solitude; Power and Ambiguity; Manifestations of the Divine Feminine
Contributors: Marilyn Becstrom, Catherine Litecky, Margaret Nelson, Margaret L. Boettcher, Gertrud Mueller Nelson, Geri Giebel Chavis, Louise O. Hiniker, Elona Street-Stewart; Lyn Miller, Ann Redmond, Sarah Hall Maney, Rose Huntley, Sharon Horgan, Mary Lou Judd Carpenter, Chris Franke, Linda Hutchinson, Christina Baldwin, Kay Vander Vort, Anne E. Patrick, Mary Pinney Erickson, Joan H. Timmerman
Reviews:
"In these essays, women demonstrate the essential unity between theology and their own lives. They bring alive the dynamic reality that our religious traditions cannot be whole if women's experiences are not brought to bear upon them."

– Mary Farrell Bednarowski, Professor of Religious Studies, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities
"Walking in Two Worlds shows how closely women's stories and experiences connect with feminist scholarship. The book is a treasure of personal insights and reflective analysis."
–Anne Carr, Professor of Theology, The University of Chicago Divinity School
"In this book, the woman-experience of walking in two worlds finds powerful expression. The wrestling with myth and language in both church and culture; the journey of transition from old identity to new authenticity; the powerful feelings of anger and aloneness, power and ambiguity; the discovery of the feminine face of God; the discovery of the reality of women's body experience—all are shared boldly and poignantly and lucidly by these authors."
– Elizabeth Dodson Gray, Coordinator of Theological Opportunities, Harvard Divinity School
