| Summary: | Interconnectedness is an appealing ideal in both engaged Buddhism and feminist theology. There are differences, however.

Feminists stress sexism as the root cause and the overcoming of dualistic patterns of patriarchy as the goal. Both traditions can learn from each other in addressing these causes and seeking these goals. |
