Ecofeminism: Intersection for Christian-Buddhist Dialogue

description
  • – Feminist theology has done much in its attempts to recover the hidden contributions of women to the religions of Christianity and Buddhism, critiquing both the absence of women's voices and experiences and helping to re-construct and re-articulate religious traditions that are more inclusive of the experiences of both women and men. Ecofeminism brings feminist analysis to the current ecological crises and sees connections between the economic and political oppression of people and the oppression of the environment. Rosemary Radford Ruether, whose work has applied a feminist theological critique and retrieval to Christianity, sees the need to address the ecological crises as one of justice. Rita M. Gross, who brings a feminist theological critique to Buddhism, examines the crises through the Buddhist insight that suffering is caused by insatiable cravings for more and more things. The contributions of each author will be examined and the potential arena for constructive interreligious dialogue in the area of the ecological crises will be addressed.
