In this special holiday episode of the Religious Feminism interview series, Kimberly Peeler-Ringer, a licensed minister within the United Church of Christ denomination and author of the Churched Feminist, talks to us about a feminist and womanist interpretation of the Nativity story. We discuss how we can find God’s view of women within the backdrop of the patriarchal society where the scripture story is set and its implications for bodily autonomy and consent.

Oh mothers of sorrow, wherever you are, They know what it is to grieve what you cannot change.
If we cannot talk honestly about the truth of birth, whether Jesus’ or any other baby’s, and if we continue to erase and dismiss the lived experience of women and center the lives and bodies of men, how can we ever view Mary, or any woman, as fully human?
