In a world that often demands we choose between intellect and intuition, action and reflection, faith and feminism—Spirituality and Practice offers a refreshing invitation to embrace both/and. For Australian Christian feminists seeking a space that honours justice, depth, inclusivity, and the sacred in everyday life, this site may become a treasured companion on your journey.
A Sanctuary for the Spiritually Curious
Spirituality and Practice is not your typical spirituality website. It’s a thoughtfully curated hub for people from all traditions—or none—who are exploring the inner life and its outer expressions. Its interfaith lens may be global, but its wisdom is deeply personal. For Christian feminists, particularly in Australia’s increasingly secular and pluralistic society, this kind of open-yet-rooted resource is rare and powerful.
The site’s content spans practices, book reviews, film guides, e-courses, and reflections that weave together themes of compassion, justice, ecology, embodiment, and contemplation. It recognises that spiritual growth isn’t linear or confined to institutions—it happens in the messy middle, in conversations, in protest marches, and in quiet moments of awe.
Feminist Theology Meets Everyday Practice
What sets Spirituality and Practice apart is its embrace of the sacred feminine, its centring of the marginalized, and its resistance to spiritual platitudes. For Christian feminists engaged in the work of deconstructing patriarchal theology while reconstructing liberative, incarnational faith, the site offers both intellectual and spiritual sustenance.
Its resources support a practice-based faith that resonates with feminist values: empathy, embodiment, justice, and mutuality. Whether you’re wrestling with inherited doctrines or nurturing new rituals, Spirituality and Practice honours the tension and celebrates the search.
Australian Relevance
Australia’s unique spiritual landscape—marked by Indigenous wisdom, migrant narratives, a shifting religious identity, and strong feminist advocacy—calls for nuanced spiritual resources. Spirituality and Practice doesn’t offer cookie-cutter answers; it invites you into reflection that is both universal and adaptable to local contexts.
For those engaging in spiritual activism, climate justice, gender equity, or liturgical innovation within the Australian church or beyond, this site offers language, tools, and companions for the road.
Where to Start
- Explore spiritual practices like hospitality, listening, and grief-tending—each linked to practical guidance and sacred texts.
- Join an e-course that aligns with your values, such as those exploring eco-spirituality, nonviolence, or the mystics.
- Read their book and film reviews for fresh perspectives that affirm both your intellect and your heart.
A Final Word
To be a Christian feminist in Australia today is to live a deeply embodied, countercultural calling. It’s to believe in a gospel that liberates and a God who listens. Spirituality and Practice is not a destination but a companion for this road—a place to rest, learn, and be renewed.
