So in response to the perennial and dismissive question, “Where are all the Christian women bloggers?” I’ve been collecting links. A lot of links — more than 400 so far.
I’ve been calling that list o’ links The Bonfire. (I suppose you could also think of it as a kind of virtual binder full of women — although the point has much more to do with un-binding.)
Along the way I’ve also been trying to compile another list of LGBTQ Christian blogs. As with the Bonfire, this started as something for myself — for the benefit of my own RSS feed subscriptions. But I also want to share this list here for the same reasons I want to share that other list. Because there are some terrific voices, writers, artists and thinkers here who deserve to be heard whether or not the tribal gatekeepers deign to permit them a “seat at the table.” And because by sharing this list, I hope that others can alert me to still other blogs and voices that I’m unaware of and missing out on.
So here’s my list so far. It’s still too short, and I still haven’t come up with a snazzy name for it yet. I’d appreciate any help you can provide with either of those.
