Abstract
Rosemary Ruether, a Christian feminist and liberation theologian, gives a comprehensive survey of the possible options for community in Christianity. In the latter half of her paper, she outlines the vision of community that speaks to her at the present time in her religious development. She is responded to by two North American Buddhists, Buddhists by choice. As Buddhist converts, both respondents speak to those aspects of the Buddhist vision of community that inspire them. In so doing, David Chappell suggests aspects of the Buddhist vision that Christianity might well wish to take seriously. Rita Gross, editor of the Theological Encounter papers, makes a feminist contribution to Buddhist thought, suggesting that Buddhism fully informed by feminist values would take community more seriously as the matrix of spiritual well-being.
