This is the first of a new feature on the Religious Feminism Podcast, the Religious Feminism Newsreel, highlighting recent news within a variety of faith-based feminist movements. This newsreel covers Southern baptist women who successfully petitioned for the removal of a sexist clergyman, a movie about Iraqi women taking up arms against the Islamic state, and the Mormon church ending its 105-year sponsorship of Boy Scouts-just as Boy Scouts starts admitting girls.
