TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Doing it (feminist theology and faith-based outreach) with sex workers - beyond Christian rescue and the problem-solving approach JO - Feminist theology A1 - McGrow, Lauren SP - 150 EP - 169 VL - 25 IS - 2 N2 - This article problematizes the usual Christian motif of rescue of sex workers that is disseminated by most faith-based groups working in the field. By focusing upon the problem of prostitution and individual rescue as the primary solution, broader relationships of accountability are neglected and complicated sex worker identifications become impossible. New strategies for thinking about human sexuality are needed that incorporate indecency as a way of questioning traditional moral representations reproduced by Christian outreach projects. In addition, three strategies are outlined that could form counter-narratives for ministry and feminist theological reflection not based upon sex work as a problem to be resolved but instead carving out creative space for mutual engagement between pastoral practitioners and sex industry workers.
