A Brief Overview of Feminist and Ecofeminist Christology1

The Incarnation of Christ, known by the eastern fathers as Christological perichoresis as a theological
idea becomes experienced ecological reality, if we realize its kenotic, Christological, relating cosmic
dimensions. It shows how we can bring together different entities, such as God and nature, look at
them in unity, as the one person of Christ and acknowledge the perichoresis between divine and
human and nature. Christ lived as one person: Both God-Creator and creature. If ecofeminist
theologies need a place in the Christian church, they must seek a Christological salvific foundation.
Our encounter with God in Christ is a transformation and a renewal of ourselves so as to discern the
will of God and follow it; a kenosis of our egocentric self so that Christ to be reborn in us. Paul sees
the encounter with God as a rebirth, not as intellectually gained knowledge.
