She Who Changes

She Who Changes:
Re-imagining the Divine in the World

Carol's gift is the ability to make complex ideas seem simple and radically new ideas seem familiar. She Who Changes is addressed to everyone who has ever wondered about the implications of re-imagining the divine as female.
Can we re-imagine divine power as deeply related to the changing world? Can we re-imagine creation as co-creation in which every individual from particles of atoms to human beings--as well as Goddess/God--play a part? Can we re-imagine the world as the body of Goddess/God? Then we can understand the deeper meaning of images of divine power as Goddess, God-She, Sophia, and Shekhina.
