RFK
We are a Christian/feminist/ecumenical collective. We see the churches not just as a congregation of believers but also as institutions with political power which actively intervene in the public sphere. We are openly against the ecclesiastic hierarchy, patriarchal orders, nationalism, and anti-social behaviour mainly within the Czech Roman Catholic Church. We do, however, build upon various religious denominations and positions outside of those. In our opinion, feminism means solidarity with the socially disadvantaged and excluded whose voices cannot be heard. Therefore, the problematic position of women in the Church is not the only point in our agenda. We aimed to establish a feminist Christian group which would strive to problematize the relations within the Church from a feminist, anti-fascist, and anti-capitalist point of view, and thus change their structure from within. Apart from political activism in public space
