I arrived in Norfolk, Virginia, on Sunday for a wonderful week of laughing with Letha as we go through boxes of old EEWC files to sort materials for the Archives of Women in Theological Scholarship at the Burke Library at Union Theological Seminary, now part of Columbia University).
Here's a link to the women and groups in these archives:
Nancy Hardesty, Phyllis Trible, Letty Russell, Rosemary Radford Reuther, and Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz are among the women whose archives will eventually be available there.
Problem: Letha is so busy doing the "Link of the Day" for EEWC's website and answering emails with blogposts and articles for her to edit that it's hard to focus on the archives.
For example, Marg sent an email asking whether a comment on Letha's newly posted article "There Is More Than One Christian View on Homosexuality" should be allowed to appear or should be moderated down somewhat. http://www.eewc.com/Articles/
A man had posted to Letha that because of her views, she's not going to heaven.
Her answer to Marg and me: "That's not the first time I've heard that."
Another problem: I arrived so tired after a red-eye flight. I'm too old to keep doing that.
After I took a three-hour nap, Letha treated me to a dinner of fresh salmon, couscous, chopped broccoli, and salad.
