Beginning May 20 Angela will be a monthly contributor to Feminism and Religion.  Each month she will feature a woman from her Holy Women Icons paintings; her first article is about the Shulamite.

It is with great sadness that North Carolina has voted to pass Amendment One, enshrining discrimination into the constitution.  Angela has spoken out against Amendment One leading up to the May 8 vote.  Her comments were posted on a law website after speaking at the WFU Law School about Amendment One.  And check out Angela and other people of faith against Amendment One.  After speaking against Amendment One with other Baptists in Charlotte, Race to the Ballot featured portions of her speech here.

Angela was recently interviewed about her Holy Women Icons paintings with author and art historian, Kittredge Cherry.  To read the interview and see the paintings, click here.  If you’re interested in purchasing or commissioning a painting, check out the “Artist” link for more details.

Angela’s book, Embodying the Feminine in the Dances of the World’s Religions, was published through Peter Lang Press in November 2011.  It’s also available at Amazon.

Angela is also excited to announce that she’ll be presenting two papers at the American Academy of Religionin Chicago this November: “Dancing Eschatological Imagination: Baby Suggs, Alvin Ailey, and KRUMP theology” and “Embodied Activism: Israeli Folk Dance Creating Social Change in the Jewish Community.”
