About this title

About the Authors

The Rev. Dr. Carter Heyward is Professor Emerita of Theology at the Episcopal Divinity School, in Cambridge, MA, where she was on the faculty for thirty years. Her doctoral dissertation at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, The Redemption of God: A Theology of Mutual Relation was written in 1979 and first published in 1982. In it, Dr. Heyward lays the foundation for all of her theological work. In 2005, Dr. Heyward retired to the mountains of North Carolina, where she lives in an intentional community, participates in a small ecumenical worshipping community, fiddles in a women's old time string band, and is involved with a therapeutic horseback riding program which she founded in 2000. As a feminist liberation theologian and a leading voice among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Christians, Dr. Heyward continues to write and speak nationally and globally. Her most recent books include God in the Balance: Christian Spirituality in Times of Terror (Pilgrim, 2002), Flying Changes: Horses as Spiritual Teachers (Pilgrim, 2005), and the forthcoming Keep Your Courage: A Radical Christian Feminist Speaks -- Occasional Pieces, 1998-2009 (SCM, 2010).

Dr. Surrey, a clinical psychologist and a Founding Scholar at the Jean Baker Miller Training Institute of the Stone Center at Wellesley College, has become a spiritual teacher in the meditation tradition of Buddhism. In addition to her own writings, Janet Surrey has co-authored several books with her spouse, Steven Bergman (pen name: Samuel Shem). Drs. Surrey and Bergman's acclaimed play, Bill W. and Dr. Bob, centers on the powerful relationship between the two men who founded Alcoholics Anonymous in the 1930s, a relational movement which has become a source of healing and hope for people throughout the world.
