The article presents a dialogue between Carol P. Christ and Judith Plaskow. It argues that a process metaphysic provides an alternative to the Christian liberation paradigm and could help feminists in religion to articulate alternatives to the concept of God as a dominant male other found in classical theism. A shared metaphysic could help feminists in different religious traditions to recognize common concerns and commitments, to guard against claims of uniqueness and exclusivity of religious traditions, and to engage with the complexities of diversity. Anticipating arguments against a feminist process paradigm, the dialogue addresses further questions: Is the idea of divinity as unfailing sympathy too good to be true? How do we explain bad things happening – is divinity evil as well as good? How does a process idea of divine sympathy differ from the traditional notions of God as love? Other issues considered are: self-sacrifice as love; the place of anger in a relational theology; co-creation and power with versus over. In conclusion the author suggests that the foundation of a shared spiritual feminist ethic would be understanding that life in the body is to be enjoyed by all and accepting responsibility to co-create a more just and harmonious world.

重温 BISFT 暑期学校 2004，布里斯托大学，“拥抱多样性：寻求和谐”

本文介绍了 Carol P. Christ 和 Judith Plaskow 之间的对话。它认为，过程形而上学提供了基督教解放范式的替代方案，并且可以帮助宗教中的女权主义者阐明在古典有神论中发现的上帝作为占主导地位的男性他者的概念的替代方案。共享的形而上学可以帮助不同宗教传统中的女权主义者认识到共同的关切和承诺，防止声称宗教传统的独特性和排他性，并参与多样性的复杂性。对话预期反对女权主义进程范式的论点，并解决了进一步的问题：将神性视为永恒的同情是不是太好了以至于不真实？我们如何解释正在发生的坏事——神性是邪恶的还是善良的？上帝同情的过程观念与上帝作为爱的传统观念有何不同？其他考虑的问题是：作为爱的自我牺牲；愤怒在关系神学中的地位；共同创造和权力与对决。总之，作者建议共享精神女权主义伦理的基础是理解肉体的生命是所有人都应该享受的，并承担共同创造一个更加公正和和谐的世界的责任。
