The titles of some of our most recent series are given to indicate the range of themes covered:

In 2007 the Theological Opportunities Program celebrated the archiving of thirty-four years of TOP records and artifacts at the Sophia Smith Collection (SSC) at Smith College in Northampton. The SSC is one of the foremost archives of women's history in the world. It turns out that it is particularly interested in "grass-roots women's religious organizations" – and of course that is TOP! SSC has the papers of Margaret Sanger, Gloria Steinem, Roman catholic feminist Theologian Mary Daly, Jewish feminist theologian Judith Plaskow, and the records of more than a century of the National YMCA. The historian Mary Ritter Beard has said:

(1) a thick notebook of TOP program mailers from TOP's beginnings 34 years ago and ever since,
(2) two notebooks of Joan Yates' photographic portraits of TOP attenders and a few speakers these past several years,
(3) Martha Nielsen's audio tapes of Braun Room sessions, made and preserved over the last seven years,
(4) five TOP-related VCR tapes by Avis Parke,
(5) One notebook of many of the pamphlets made by David Dodson Gray of TOP talks by a few speakers and by many TOP women's existential focuses,
(6) Charlene Brotman's book, The Kid's Book of Awesome Stuff (2004) which was written in relation to her years at TOP,
(7) Ann Wiseman's book of sketches of TOP,
(8) Sylvia Gilman's sketches of speakers from the 1990's on,
(9) Sylvia Slayton's 1988 banner about "TOP as a seed still growing," made for TOP's 15th anniversary,
(10) the 1986 woven construction from the "Weaving Ritual," consisting of construction paper and fabric interwoven, with messages about what each of us wanted to say to our mother and daughter(s),
and
(11) Lucile Longview's long tablecloth from the 1995 UN Women's conference in Nairobi, Kenya, brought for our use at TOP "wine and cheese" lunches.

We had already sent SSC a copy of our book, Sacred Dimensions of Women's Experience (1988), and our three pamphlets, entitled Weaving Communion Deep within Life's Grace, from our 25th and 30th anniversaries (1998 and 2003) celebrating in 234 pages what TOP has meant to each of us, and written by about 120 contributors.

TOP has a rich 34 year history and we are fortunate to have kept over these years so many different verbal and visual and audio and video and print testaments to TOP's evolving life and issues, and this is appreciated by the Smith archivists.

Archiving at Smith has given us a new sense of validation and a new sense of TOP's historical significance within women's history and in the religious/theological ferment of the most recent years of feminism. Nevertheless TOP continues on as a vital and vibrant community of women examining the issues that women face in today's world.

Anyone interested in scholarly research into TOP and in delving into our deep and rich history should contact the Sophia Smith Collection directly.

In 1988 Elizabeth Dodson Gray edited Sacred Dimensions of Women’s Experience. This book was based upon the 1985 Fall TOP series. It is by 31 women, writing autobiographically, and is about the religious dimensions of those portions of the total human experience which males never experience—and therefore have never named as sacred (for example, women bringing life in childbirth).

Her own first book, Green Paradise Lost (1979), asked why did we ever think we could get away with treating nature so badly. It is now viewed as one of two classic eco-feminist texts.

Her second book, Patriarchy as a Conceptual Trap (1982), condemns what since the Middle Ages Christian theology has called the Great Chain of Being—the cosmic hierarchy which she finds rooted in the patriarchal "ranking of diversity" which begins with men ranking men above women. Ranking diversity is the conceptual trap.

In 1994 she wrote Sunday School Manifesto: In the Image of Her?, contrasting the woman-affirming accounts of Jesus in the gospels with subsequent centuries of woman-denigrating Christian theology and practice. She notes that Christian theology and churches have never repented of this history of denigrating women.
