Abstract
In this chapter I will seek to find my way to the margin of the margins, and to look forward and back from a theological perspective at our task in Abya Yala and beyond. In this path, I am particularly interested in what Latin American feminist decolonial thinkers and practitioners bring to the table. As they underline in many ways, there is no margin of the margins without women. Indeed, most generalizations about Christian faith or theology (as good or bad) do not sufficiently consider the quotidian, creative, decolonizing theology done by women on the margin of the margins.
