Birthing the Sermon: Women Preachers on Creative Process. ed. Jana Childers. St. Louis, MO: Chalice Press 2001
Each woman in this book writes about her process in developing a sermon. My chapter focuses on the sermon as a meeting place between the scripture text and the community text. In addition to the essay there is a sermon entitled “After Emmaus.”

"Do You See This Woman?" In
Lutheran Women in Ordained Ministry, 1970-1995. ed. Gloria E. Bengtson. Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress 1995
Jesus asks this question to Simon at the dinner party interrupted by an unnamed woman (Luke 7). The question also refers to my experience preaching in a congregation years ago. A woman who had never heard another woman preach told me she has prepared herself by saying, “Just close your eyes and maybe you can forget it‘s a woman is preaching.”
