Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsMy main concern is that the piece leans into generalisations wich may not stand scruting. There is a reflex identification of colonialism and Christianity, which, whilst often true, may be contested (Lamin Sanneh, Translating the Message)
The second is the blanket term "East Africa" . Both the colonial and and post-independence experiences in in different territories defy a uniform over-arching narrative.
That said, I greatly enjoyed reading it

Thank you very much for the feedback. The main issue raised by both reviewers was that we needed to revise the manuscript in order to address some of the similarities noted by the similarity index. All the portions of the manuscript which have been revised have been highlighted using the yellow font.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsReaders will need to know more about theological contributions of Hinga and Wasike at the outset. Begin by discussing their respective academic positions, religious positions books, papers, and theological contributions. Why are/were these women so prominent? Significant that Hinga worked primarily in US and the UK while Wasike worked in Kenya.
Most important point is that agency is possible, no matter how oppressed humans are or how attached to subordinating relations. Women's religious organizations exert considerable power in the US and in Africa.
