Bodyfaith and the Mind's Heart: Educational Healing for Community.

Johnston, Sally Naylor

Religious Education, v92 n3 p379-92 Sum 1997

Maintains that reimagining God through metaphors that counter patriarchy can become a liberating and transformational pathway for a healing community. Proposes two metaphorical constructions, "bodyfaith" and "the mind's heart," to act as tools to imagine a healing agenda within education. Considers the role of educational healing within a religious community. (MJP)
