Announcing Wikiklesia, Volume 2

You are invited, both men and women, both published and non-published authors and bloggers, to share your perspective and experiences. Send the editors a 3-5 paragraph proposal by May 15, 2009. They will select fifty of the most visionary and thought provoking articles for a year-long interactive publication at Missional Tribe hub (link). Most of these articles will also be selected for the final hard copy version of the book.  Sister projects with traditional publishers are also on the radar.  Finished chapters should be maximum 3000 words and are due by July 31, 2009. Images, diagrams, photos, poetry, and resources are welcomed.  A few guest authors have already been confirmed and 100% of project proceeds will go to Emancipation Network (http://www.madebysurvivors.com/).

The time for disenfranchisement and debating women's "place" has passed.  Wikiklesia Volume Two is dedicated to affirming and learning about women who, as passionate contributors, use their gifts as well as serve alongside their brothers --reclaiming a unified image for the Body of Christ. The Editors are looking for stories from thinkers and doers who have dared to imagine opportunities for women's voices both within and beyond the traditional framework of religious institutions and settings.

What wild adventures and stories of those "taking flight" are out there? How will further progress be made? How can future generations of women be inspired to realize their potential? We need your stories - the courageous visionaries who are re-examining and re-imagining the roles of women of faith - to present a fresh, comprehensive view that will inspire women (and men!) to look expectantly towards a positively transformed 21^st century ecclesia.
