Welcome! The Women and Religion Movement is alive and well in the 21st Century. A grassroots project started by lay leaders in the 1970s as an effort to promote examination of religious roots of sexism and patriarchy within the UUA and beyond, UU Women and Religion officially began as a task force following the unanimously-passed WOMEN AND RELIGION RESOLUTION at the 1977 UUA General Assembly. Although the Task Force was eventually sunsetted, the movement still exists in UU communities that hold Women & Religion programs and gatherings for those who identify as women. It exists at the UU General Assembly, where UUW&R brings our Store to the Exhibit Hall and occasionally hosts a gathering. And it lives in the hearts and lives of people who have been touched by the many changes inspired by this movement.

"We do not want a piece of the pie. It is still a patriarchal pie. We want to change the recipe!" -- Rosemary Matson

Cakes for the Queen of Heaven

ON SALE UNTIL 10/15

The classic women's circle study course
by Rev. Shirley Ann Ranck, PhD

“Cakes for the Queen of Heaven” is a woman honoring adult religious education curriculum. It examines pre-Judeo Christian cultures that worshiped the female as divine. The concepts of equality and reverence for the female in a religious setting are eye-opening to many participants.

More than Goddess 101, this workshop series examines important elements of today’s women’s lives; personal, interpersonal and societal. It examines how our culture has been influenced by Judeo Christian values. The primary question raised is: How would your life have been different if, when growing up, the divine had been imaged as female? Participants are encouraged to share their own experiences and beliefs, creating trust and strong bonds of friendship.

Cakes for the Queen of Heaven comes with:

  • printed Facilitators' Guides (we ship to you)
  • Resources (PDF handouts and PowerPoint slides) as download files, or on CD or USB drive - you choose one format when you order.
  • NOTE: if you choose the downloadable additional Resources, the first page of Volume I contains instructions for downloading them.
