Abstract
Cristina Lledo Gomez asserts that feminist theologies challenge the sin of patriarchy which is deeply embedded in the belief and praxis of the Christian Church. Further, in reviewing the mother image for the Church, Lledo-Gomez considers how feminist critique serves as a basis for a re-imagination of the Church as maternal, thereby giving voice to the voiceless. These emerging voices are from mothers who are becoming theologians, and together they are creating the 'maternal-feminist theological discourse', with the hopeful potential to enhance the institutional Church.
