Repairers of the Breach: Masculine-Feminine Reconciliation and Future Church (Lyons, Kathleen)
In this newly-published book, Kathleen Lyons csj, (Sister of St. Joseph of Pembroke) writes with perception and clarity of women in today's "androcentric hierarchical church" who, like the bent and burdened woman in Luke's Gospel, "long to be able to stand upright, to be considered in their own uniqueness as equal in their humanity to the male of the species".
Kathleen's acute understanding of the need for the "meeting... of the masculine and the feminine in a respectful mutuality and love:, both within each person's psyche and in church and society, is drawn from decades of reflection on her Jungian studies in Zurich, her work as a spiritual guide, and her own carefully considered dreams. The dreams, Kathleen's poetry and a a series of photographs of stained glass artwork lift he work to a symbolic level of enhanced meaning.
