Feminist Studies in Religion, Inc. (FSR) announces the re-launch of its website, www.fsrinc.org. Since its founding in 1983 as a nonprofit organization designed to foster and promote feminist studies in religion in all of its variety and diversity, FSR has sought to create connections among feminist activists, scholars, students, and religious communities. It has done so first through the visionary founding in 1985 and ongoing support of the respected and pioneering academic journal, the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion (JFSR), which has for 27 years provided an outlet and forum for the publication and critical discussion of feminist scholarship in religious studies and theology. In more recent years, FSR has sought to broaden its vision and scope to fund and host conferences on feminist pedagogy, institutional change, and feminist intergenerational and interreligious dialogue. It has also committed to supporting a new initiative, the Feminist in Religion Project (FiR), which developed out of an FSR conference in 2005 with the vision of becoming a "go-to" place for online information and discussions pertaining to feminism and religion, and sharing those with a wide audience.

The work of FSR and its varied projects share key organizational and philosophical principles, among them commitments to fostering connections between feminist communities and conversations both inside and outside the academy, to promoting conversations about feminism and religion, and to shared feminist forms of decision-making. Now the plural aspects of FSR share a new and updated "virtual" space as well on this new website, while still maintaining their own particular functions, features, and voices.

We are excited about several new features of this website, which has been designed under the energetic and able supervision of former JFSR managing editor and now web editor Stephanie May with the technical expertise of our design team, Kim Schlossberg and Tom Davis. Those interested in supporting the work of FSR and its "daughter" projects will now be able to do so financially through an online donation link. The JFSR site now features the capability for electronic submission of articles. Also on the JFSR site is a searchable index in which articles can be searched by title, author, and keywords--a longtime dream of many of us connected with JFSR that is now finally a reality. And the FiR site, overseen by web co-editor Kate Ott, has adopted a blog format to foster regular and public discussion and exchange on an array of topics connected to feminism and religion.

We invite you to join in the conversation with us on our new website.
