EWA tasting and seeing Christ as the Bread of Life, Rice of Life and the Meat of Life.

Description

The article is a conference report of the 8th biennial gathering of Catholic feminist women theologians in Asia, comprising lay and religious women feasting on feminist theological discussions, women-centred liturgies and reflection held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 18-21 January. With the festive theme, ‘Foodscapes: Gastronomy, Theologies and Spiritualities’ digested from the lens of a Catholic Asian feminist theological orientation, 12 papers, including the keynote address were delivered for women’s hearty consumption. Conversational threads simmered with key ingredients drawn from EWA’s faith and praxis of doing theology that is: “inculturated and contextualized in Asian realities; builds on the spiritual experience and praxis of the socially excluded; promotes mutuality and the integrity of creation; and dialogues with other disciplines, Christian denominations and faiths”.
