So I just noticed a few of the recent links to my blog. Over the last few days, I’ve been labeled as “feminist priestess blogger” and given a Subversive Blogger Award (thanks Mak). Given with differing intentions, I guess they go together well. The Subversive Blogger Award was started by Jake Bouma and is fitting of my blogging style of late.
“Subversive bloggers are unsatisfied with the status quo, whether in church, politics, economics or any other power-laden institution, and they are searching for (and blogging about) what is new (or a “return to”) – even though it may be labeled as sacrilege, dangerous, or subversive.”
The rules of participation are pretty straightforward:
1. If you are tagged, write a post with links to five subversive blogs.
2. Link back to this post on JakeBouma.com so people can easily find the origin of the meme.
3. Optional: Proudly display the “Subversive Blogger Award” somewhere on your blog.
That’s all there is to it. Keep in mind that this award is meant as an encouragement to bloggers to keep doing what they’re already doing – being subversive (however you interpret it). May we never forget that Jesus (and His message) was the original and ultimate subversive.
Alright so onward with my nominations. Some of these bloggers are getting double tagged because they are just that cool. 
1. Kathy Escobar – for her good questions and fresh ways of looking at things.
2. Grounded & Rooted in Love blog – a subversive church
3. Matt Stone – for asking the hard questions about worship
4. Friendly Atheist – for moving the atheist/Christian conversation forward in healthy ways
5. Empire Remixed blog – rethinking everything
Thank you all for your subversiveness (is that a word?) and continue in the good fight.
