Women's Subjectivity in the Prayer-Poetry of Dorothee Sölle Gendering Liberation: “Deprivatising” Women’s Subjectivity in the Prayer-Poetry of Dorothee Sölle By Katja Lisa Elena Neumann 2014 A thesis submitted to the University of Stirling for examination for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of Religious Studies. Division of Languages and Literatures in the School of Arts and Humanities. This thesis has been redacted for copyright reasons Abstract This study investigates the artistic expressions of women‘s subjectivity in the prayer-poetry of Dorothee Sölle (1929-2003). My aim is to develop a critical introduction of Sölle‘s poetry, in light of her theology and in conversation with literary theory, contextualising the reception of her work and the role of reception in subjectivity as these converge in her prayerful hermeneutic. In what I come to call ―liturgical reception‖, I provide a perspective on Sölle‘s work on the basis of translations for an English speaking context. I draw on contemporary thought, ranging from feminism and liberation theology to hermeneutics, literary theory and philosophy, to shape the contour and scope of Sölle‘s work. Addressing feminist debates that consider the role of gendered subjectivity in relation to pervasive hetero-normative structures, I facilitate Mary Gerhart‘s notion of the ―genric‖ and Luce Irigaray‘s work on the ―sexuate‖ to clarify the issues arising in Sölle‘s poetry in the context of language and literature, as well as classic formulations of God and the Church. Thinking through gendered subjectivity allows liberation to emerge as a poetic process that opens up personal prayer for the wider community. In light of Sölle‘s early comments on ―Deprivatised Prayer‖ [1971], I argue for a theopoetic conception of prayer which takes the Death of God not as an end point, but as a starting point for a consciously critical negotiation of gendered faith identity in community. The conditions of the Death of God, to Sölle a sign for the loss of immediacy in the sense of naïveté (Ricoeur) – and therefore a loss of unproblematic intimacy – require prayer to take into account its gendered situation, since prayer is never not embodied. Sölle‘s portrayals of woman-lover, mother and artist both rely upon and differentiate the relationship between emancipation and solidarity that I see addressed by liberation hermeneutics as the work of co-creation. Thus emerges a theopoetic vision that does not dissolve gender difference in favour of a ―general‖ salvation, but offers a critique of the process of liberation itself tied into our gendered engagements with a theological reception of women at prayer. To my nieces, Alicia and Amelie Louise, who had to learn too quickly that ‘ ’ (Sölle, VL59) Acknowledgments In spite of all those named in acknowledgement of support, encouragement and teaching, writing this thesis has been exceptionally lonely. Whenever I am not with the poetry, I am missing the company of a woman I never met in person: Dorothee Sölle. She wrote ‗ ‘ (VL66, ll.41-43). And so the labour of this thesis has been tied to a genealogy of women who have taught and guided me in my religious education and practice and who have changed my life in significant ways: Dr Alison Jasper, Sieglinde Jung-Keil, Beate Hille and my mother, Käthe Neumann. That the work is done, finally, is due to the scholars, friends and family who have endured my bouts of insecurity, my fits of anger and frustration most patiently, and they have remained the same throughout most of my degree-paths. Dr Andrew Hass, Dr Alison Jasper and Prof Richard Roberts – each in their own unique ways – have helped me along nine years of student-life with their teaching, questioning and sincere attention – to personal and editorial matters. That they still smile when they see me is truly a gift. The ―diaspora‖ of postgraduate students in the division – Chloe Erdmann, Paige Medlock Johnson and Dr Rajalakshmi Nadadur-Kannan – have been an inspiration. Meghan McAvoy lived with my idiosyncracies for long years, and I‘ve learned much from her about myself, and Scotland. Katherine Buchanan and Michael McCabe have caught my back in cold and harsh times – with a warm and cheerful presence. Michael‘s knowledge of mythology has informed much of my initial readings, while Katherine helped me explore a distinctly more ecumenical side of Christianity. Together with Sara Robinson, Dr Anne Dance – whom I also thank for reading and commenting on my drafts – and Dr Lucinda Dean, they ―adopted‖ me into the lively circle of History postgraduates. They all hold a special place in my heart for their supportive and enduring friendships! Scholars further afield have left their mark on my assessment of material as well as my assessment of my career path. The editor of <www.dorotheesoelle.de>, Hinrich Kley-Olsen, who provided the contact to other Sölle-enthusiasts as well as suggesting to get in touch with Prof Baltz-Otto, has been instrumental in my initial period of research. For her kind emails I thank Prof Dr Ursula Baltz-Otto; For agreeing to speak to me over the phone at a stage where things were still incredibly fluid thanks go to Prof Dr Fulbert Steffensky; Prof Dr Ulrike Wagner-Rau patiently sat through my broken German and provided the connection to speak to Prof Dr Peter Cornehl, both of whom I thank for a critical discussion and encouraging feedback. Equally I wish to acknowledge Dr Alison Jack who spent a long train journey from London to Stirling with me discussing academic work, and Prof David Jasper who willingly read and discussed some of the most personal portions of my thesis. My gratitude also goes to the various libraries I sought out over the course of research – Aberdeen University Library (whose staff were kind enough to remote- renew my texts when I was in timing difficulties), Edinburgh University Library, Glasgow University Library, the National Library of Scotland, Justus-Liebig- Universität Gießen, Philipps-Universität Marburg and of course our own Stirling University Library. Next to the much needed Document Delivery Services, the Portering staff at Stirling University Library deserve special mention: they have paid close attention (not just to the amount of books I would cart about), but to my general well-being, my moods and worries. On these grounds an institution may yet feel like a home. And I have been fortunate to say I have more than one such home. Logie Kirk has become an incredible source of support, sharing in my joys and sorrows, especially through people such as Helen and Frances, and the choir, who have patiently awaited the ―good news‖ of my handing-in, and who helped me through various moves, emotionally and practically. Here I especially thank Roy Anderson, Peter Stewart, Nora Gardener, Christine McGavin, John Logan, Rev Stuart Fulton and Alasdair Smith. Thanks also to the lively services at Logie which opened my eyes to the meaning of participation in liturgy. I feel privileged in having grown with this community and their generous hospitality has informed much of my present perspective of my work. Special thanks goes out to Rev Stuart Fulton, Rev Sally Foster-Fulton, Sarah-Grace Fulton, and Alex Fulton who have welcomed me into their family, fed and on occasion shoe-ed me, and who have kept an open ear for the rhythms of my work I would not recognise. Thanks also to Rev Anne Shearer, and Rev Irene Gillespie who shared their insights and their care. I‘m proud to call all of you my friends. Thanks to the publishers Wolfgang Fietkau and W. Abrams, as well as the Barbara Hepworth Estate for the permission to reproduce Sölle‘s poetry, and the respective images illustrating them in this thesis. I also thank the Evangelisches Kirchenamt for supplying me with material explaining the Perikopenordnung of the Lutheran Church. I gratefully acknowledge the funding received from the Arts and Humanities Research Council which supported me not only through most of my PhD, but also my Master‘s studies. Without this, I would have taken a very different path in life. I also thank the DAAD (German Academic Exchange) programme for their funding of my research visit to Philipps Universität Marburg, under the care of Prof Ulrike Wagner-Rau. Alongside occasional labour undertaken towards the end of studies, I thank the generosity of friends and family for keeping me afloat during some very stressful times closer to submission. I hope one day I can return the kindness. In one poem Sölle writes: ‗ ‘ (VL69, ll.17-19). I recognise this thankfulness most vividly with my nieces Alicia and Amelie Louise Neumann, with Cameron, Humphrey, and Murron Benitez-Quintana and the trust offered to me by Plato, Yami, Akira, Lizzy, Clara, Jake and Sammy. At the end of four rough years of PhD life, what is left to say, but: Thank you! Table of Contents 0.

  • James H. Cone: Father of Contemporary Black Theology
    James H. Cone: Father Of Contemporary Black Theology RUFUS BURROW, JR. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this article is to provide pastors, laypersons, students and aca- demicians with a sense of the human being behind and in the thick of black lib- eration theology as well as his courage to both lead and change. I shall briefly discuss aspects of James Hal Cone's background, some early frustrations and challenges he confronted, and ways in which his theology has shifted. Since the late 1960s, Cone has been among the most creative and courageous of the contemporary black liberation theologians. Although he has been writing major theologi"tal treatises since 1968, there has been no booklength manuscript published on his work. There have, however, been a number of dissertations written on his theology since 1974, some of which are comparative studies. Cone has been the subject of much criticism by white theologians, although few of them have taken either him or the black religious experience seriously enough to be willing to devote the time and energy necessary to learn all they can about these in order to engage in intelligent dialogue and criticism. Considered the premier black theologian and the "father of contemporary black theology," it is strange that after more than twenty years of writing, lectur- ing on and doing black theology, no one has yet devoted a book to Cone's work.' To be sure, Cone's is not the only version of black liberation theology. However, it was he who introduced this new way of doing theology in a systematic way.

  • March 21, 2021 Sermon
    Kerry Mansir March 21, 2021 Christ Church Gardiner Lent 5 In the parish news a couple of weeks ago, I shared the story of the Philadelphia 11 in honor of Women’s History Month. The Philadelphia 11 are the women who, in July of 1974, were ordained to the priesthood at Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia. This was remarkable because just a year before, at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, women had been denied ordination to the priesthood. And nothing had changed regarding women’s ordination in that year. But these eleven women, and others like them, were tired of waiting. They had tried the legislative routes within the church, but they were weary of being put off so that the Church could continue to “study the matter.” Choosing to be ordained without the blessing of General Convention carried great risk in that the women could be deposed, in other words, permanently barred from the priesthood in the future, and possibly any role in the Church at all. Their ordination was an historic moment in the Church. Knowing the story of these women is important to understanding our church history. But as one of you pointed out to me, the press release from July 31, 1974 that I shared in the parish newsletter failed to name any but two of these women. The news release did name the three male retired or resigned Bishops who performed the ordination, the male Harvard professor who preached the sermon, and several of the male Bishops who opposed the ordinations, including the Presiding Bishop at that time.

  • Midwestern Journal of Theology 8.1 (Fall 2009): 84-95 the Cross: New Religions, New Theologies and the Only Difference in a Pluralistic Society
    Midwestern Journal of Theology 8.1 (Fall 2009): 84-95 The Cross: New Religions, New Theologies and the Only Difference in a Pluralistic Society Viola Larson Board Member Voices of Orthodox Women and Theology Matters Sacramento, California Abstract Viola Larson points to the trend in religious movements, Christian and otherwise, of viewing Christ’s sacrifice as simply an example of suffering for others. The article proceeds to outline the need for the doctrine of atonement and illustrates how this doctrine keeps Christianity orthodox. Larson demonstrates the doctrine of atonement from Scripture and engages several views on atonement from history. Ultimately, Larson contends that without a proper doctrine of the atonement of Christ on the cross, evil is allowed to run rampant in any religion, including Christianity. 1 Recently, in her address to the 2002 Covenant Conference,106F Anna Case- Winters, Professor of Theology at McCormick Theological Seminary, suggests that for our atonement, “‘The incarnation’ would be enough!” She also advocates for the theological position of Abelard, the medieval scholastic who held a position of atonement referred to as moral 2 influence or example.107F That is, the death of Christ on the cross becomes an example of the willingness to suffer for others and for that reason Jesus Christ is followed and loved. Other proponents of this view of the cross and salvation were Socinus, a sixteenth century theologian who 3 also denied the Trinity108F , and Friedrich Schleiermacher the father of nineteenth century liberal theology. Pelagius is seen as an early anticipation of this view, since he believed humanity capable of living up 1 The Covenant Network is an independent group within the Presbyterian Church USA whose members advocate for the ordination of homosexuals and for Progressive Theology.

  • Wild Geese and Solidarity: Conjunctural Praxis for a Spirit-Filled Ethics
    Wild Geese and Solidarity: Conjunctural Praxis for a Spirit-filled Ethics MARILYNJ. LEGGE Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting­ over and over announcing your place in the family ofthings. 1 Introduction IN OUR CURRENT condition of postrnodem globalization, capitalism infil­ trates and commodifies the nooks and crannies of our personal lives and our world. This dislocation of our spatial, social, historical, and intimate connections presents new difficulties for building justice and peace and mending creation. In the absence of credible political alternatives, people's energy and hope for change can weaken and fade our vision of a common good. How can people link across particularities for the sake of justice and community? Mary Oliver's poetic voice moves us to pursue shifting pattems of conjunction. Like wild geese who resist domestica­ tion, we need to preserve energy in the rhythm of ongoing movement, to participate in a joumey without assured outcomes, to share leadership and rest, and never to forget the most vulnerable. In this harsh and excit­ ing world, we will conjoin social relations with the mystery of Cod's creation.2 1. Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese," in Dream Work (New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1986),14. 2. My hearty thanks to Liz Bounds, Michael Bourgeois, and Alyda Faber for their con­ structive response to earlier drafts of this essay. 165 166 MARILYN J. LEGGE Beverly Wildung Harrison is a contemporary prophet who considers theological ethics as a material practice. She has mentored many of us near and far in the political project of making Christian theology gen­ uinely critical enough to escape cultural provincialism, especially by making ethics and radical social change accountable to women's lived­ world experience, particularly that of those most marginalized.

  • Re-Imagining: Relishing Eve's Rebellion
    STATEMENT DW050 Re-Imagining: Relishing Eve’s Rebellion “Sometimes when you ask God for help, God sends a heretic.” These words, shared by presenter Delores Williams, may well have summarized the sentiments of many participants at a Re-imagining Revival conference held in St. Paul, Minnesota, April 16 – 19, 1998. Williams, professor of theology and culture at New York’s Union Theological Seminary, and other participants in this radical spiritual feminist movement assert they are seeking to salvage what they can from a corrupt, woman- oppressing, patriarchal Christian tradition. While not all would welcome the label “heretic,” one could purchase a T- shirt on site that proclaimed its wearer a “heretic in good company” with others who have challenged predominant paradigms of faith, such as Jesus of Nazareth, Martin Luther, Meister Eckhart, and Matthew Fox. The event was organized by the Re-Imagining Community, which emerged in 1993 with its first controversial conference, called to mark the midpoint in the World Council of Churches’ Ecumenical Decade: Churches in Solidarity with Women. The incorporated, nonprofit organization operates out of offices in Minneapolis, sponsors annual gatherings and “faith labs” for theological exploration, and periodically publishes a newsletter. Organizers counted 850 women and 50 men present this year, with participants coming from 42 U.S. states, three Canadian provinces, Germany, Uruguay, South Korea, Switzerland, Sweden, Kenya, and South Africa. All mainline denominations were represented, as were the Church of the Brethren, the Church of Sweden, the Metropolitan Community Church, the Ugandan Episcopal Church, and the United Church of Canada. Also attending were Mennonites, Quakers, Unitarians, Moravians, Roman Catholics, and at least one Sufi.

The Task oj Destroying the History of Ontology All research-and not least that which operates within the range of the central question of Being-is an ontical possibility of Dasein. Dasein's Being finds its meaning in temporality. But temporality is also the con­ --which makes historicality possible as a temporal kind of Being . which Dasein itself possesses, regardless of whether or how Dasein is an entity 'in time'. Historicality, as a determinate character, is prior to what is called "history" (world-historical historizing).l "Historicality" stands for the state of Being that is constitutive for 20 Dasein's 'historizing' as such; only on the basis of such 'historizing' is anything like 'world-history' possible or can anything belong historically to world-history. In its factical Being, any Dasein is as it already was, and it is 'what' it already was. It is its past, whether explicitly or not.
