HolyFeminine.com - Petition for Orthodox Church members

Holy Feminine is a global project addressing the denigration of women within faith traditions by not allowing women to be priests or to have any leadership position.

Suppressing feminine energy and denying all women to take a leading position in all religions has brought suffering to all humanity - both men and women. The excessive masculine energy led the world into suffering, spiritual wars and depression.

Throughout the centuries, the formulation of Christian doctrine has been influenced by the prevailing culture of the time.

But the ‘doctrines on the margin’ have often been totally hijacked by dominant cultures.

social order — democracy was forbidden, kings were thought to rule ‘by divine right’, the class system was upheld in church, colonialism was endorsed by popes.
the created world — Galileo was condemned as a heretic (!) for believing the earth goes round the sun, astrology was honoured, the six-day creation taught as inspired teaching.
liturgy — Roman everyday dress became ‘sacred vestments’, bishops were treated as feudal lords, Latin was considered God’s own language.
Women were excluded from exercising priestly functions on cultural grounds because they were considered: less intelligent emotionally, unstable, unreliable, not capable of exercising any real leadership.

Women were stopped from entering church during their periods or from receiving holy communion. At times they received communion on a cloth spread out over their hands. They certainly were too ‘unclean’ to approach the altar as priests!
This inferiority was seen confirmed by the view that women were not complete human beings.

We are convinced that the world will be a better place only when there will be balance between the feminine and masculine energy.

It’s time for the #HolyFeminine energy to flourish and to start a global movement on all Christian dimensions. We want #WomenPriests , #WomenBishops and #WomanPastors on all Christian traditions - Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Churches!
