A feminist pastor is suggesting Christian women send her their purity rings, which have been hailed as symbols of patriarchal theology, so that she can melt them down into a gold vagina.
Nadia Bolz-Weber sent out a call on Twitter enticing people to contribute their rings 'for a massive art project.'
Artist Nancy Anderson is working with Bolz-Weber to melt down the rings to create the golden vagina scuplture.
Purity rings are a symbol of chastity. Wearing one is typically accompanied by a religious vow to practice abstinence until marriage.
'This thing about women that the church has tried to hide and control and that is a canvas on which other people can write their own righteousness, it's actually ours,' Bolz-Weber told HuffPost of women's sexuality.

Bolz-Weber took to Twitter to implore women to send her their purity rings for her project
Wearing a purity ring typically a signifies chastity and a religious vow that one is waiting till marriage to have intercourse
She says some women who had waited to have sex until marriage struggled with enjoying sex as a pleasurable experience.
'A lot of women have gone through a lot of their lives sort of judging themselves on a scale of worthiness that somebody else handed them,' she said.
'This part of me is mine and I get to determine what is good for it and if it's beautiful and how I use it in the world,' she said of her own sexuality.
The sculpture will be unveiled in 2019 at a conference for Makers, a feminist media brand.
Bolz-Weber says she hopes that the project will help show that a symbol used to shame women can help in their liberation.
People who do send their rings to her will also receive a free copy of her book 'Shameless,' which is about sex and Christianity.
The idea being, in part, is that the former purity ring wearers are still holy because God has breathed life into them, according to Bolz-Weber.
She says holiness is something that can't be taken away by another human being.
'To me, to be able to have the self-determination to take symbols and words and actions that might have harmed me at a different time in life and to reclaim and redefine and rework those into something healing and humorous, that's a powerful thing,' Bolz-Weber added.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
