The Unmooring Journal

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (June 2025). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

If you’re reading magazines and theological commentary, online or in print, or browsing social media, you might have noticed the prolific number of opinions and writing offered by men in the Christian tradition. Whether it stems from complementarian interpretations of scripture or simply the patriarchal legacy of the Christian church, women’s voices are scarce and often overlooked or ignored. The Unmooring seeks to assist in remedying this. Our hope is to amplify women’s voices on serious issues of faith, grappling with the complexities of the Christian tradition in our present moment, distilling female reflection and contemplation about what our beliefs mean in an increasingly inequitable world and culture.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $3 (average for magazines that charge).
