intuitions (Wickedary, pg. 90). For her, to sin was to participate in Be-ing, that is, to participate in Ultimate/Intimate Reality, the ground of be-ing which is Verb, the ever-living and changing Goddess. It is not an easy thing to trust and act out of our deepest intuitions sometimes we dont even know how to recognize the divine voice deep within. But good leadership helps create the space that provides room and allows time for birthing the Courage to trust and act out of our deepest intuitions. Thus, I think it is necessary that we discern and journey together. A community of courage and open dialogue can help facilitate and sustain us as we discern the deep wisdom that would move us toward the more beautiful and just existence that many of us so deeply desire. I propose that we must all be leaders. I propose that all of our participation is needed in the task of creating the new womb space from which we could birth something new together the space in which we can sustain open dialogue and risk toward the yet unknown. What deep impulse from within our soul needs to be expressed? What holds us back? And in what ways might we be the leaders that help facilitate this exploration and discernment for ourselves and one another? What might it mean for us to lead with the Courage to Sin and Sin big? Xochitl Alvizo is a feminist Christian-identified woman and theologian currently completing her PhD at Boston University School of Theology in practical theology with a focus on ecclesiology. Finding herself on the boundary of different social and cultural contexts, she works hard to develop her voice and to hear and encourage the voice of others. Her work is inspired by the conviction that all people are inextricably interconnected and the good one can do in any one area inevitably and positively impacts all others.
