"Christian Feminists"? That is a both a paradox and a redundancy. If you take "feminism" to mean concern for women's welfare, then it is a redundancy, because Christianity has always treated women well -- much better than Judaism or Islam, to be sure. If you take "feminism" to mean denying that there are innate differences between men and women and trying to free women from all the constraints, rights, and obligations that go along with their biology, then it is a paradox. Traditional Christianity believes in the primacy of the role of wife and mother for all women.
