Carter Heyward/theology

Famous quotes containing the words carter, heyward and/or theology:

    I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
    And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
    And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth,
    At Bethlehem I had my birth.
    —Sydney Carter (20th century)

    I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.
    —Carter Heyward (b. 1946)

    A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
