Recommended blog reading

I've added some great blogs to my Google Reader these past few months, so I thought I would share a few:

so much shouting, so much laughter - Suzannah writes about faith lived out.  I appreciate her posts on non-violence, living simply, and women in the church.

Are Women Human? - An amazing blog!  I think Grace is my brain-twin, as she discusses race and gender in the church, and even the book Divided by Faith.  

Experimental Theology - Am I the last person to have heard of Richard Beck's blog?  In case I'm not, Richard is a psychology professor at Abilene Christian University and blogs about various issues in the Christian faith.

mama:monk - I also feel like Micha is my brain-twin.  She grew up Southern Baptist and is now a Christian feminist who has fallen in love with monastic and contemplative practice.

Jenny Rae Armstrong - Jenny grew up as a missionary kid, and now shares challenging thoughts on women's issues in the church and social justice.

Joy in this Journey - Joy writes honest, open, and thought-provoking posts about women in the church, grieving, and how complacent North American Christians can address poverty.

Laura Ziesel - Laura is a seminary student who blogs about gender and miscarriage, and also offers incisive critiques of North American Christianity.

Native Appropriations - Adrienne counters stereotypes and misuse of indigenous cultures.

New Ways Forward - A seminary student, Mason shares about theology, Scripture, and his faith journey.

Be the Change - Dianna has an M.A. in English from Baylor, and her incredible blog explores gender and the church.

Once I'm done with the bar exam next summer, I hope to interact and comment more on all of these thoughtful, well-written blogs.  

Has anyone else found any excellent blogs lately?  Please share!

What was that sound? Oh yeah, the sound of my mind getting blown.

Thank you... one that I'd recommend would be that of Chelsea Axford at http://chelsibell.wordpress.com/ she doesn't post often but when she does - wow!

Adam,
Thanks for the recommendation! I will check out her blog.

Joy,
You definitely belong among a list of great writers!

Suzannah,
Thank you! I think Emerging Mummy is what led me to you, actually. Love her blog.

Laura,
I am CRACKING up right now...was not expecting that video! So the next time I read or hear something sexist/racist, I'm going to whistle while I work against it :)
