Since the days of Mary Magdalene and Mary, the Mother of Jesus, women have stood at the center of the Christian tradition. Yet too often their voices have been ignored and forgotten—and even silenced outright. This series will explore the history of women witnesses throughout Christian history—saints and martyrs, sisters and activists, theologians and spiritual writers. Centering both Catholic and ecumenical voices and covering a range of topics and time periods, this series will lift up the voices of women throughout Christian history—all in the spirit of empowering women and men in their lives of faith, spirituality, and ministry today.
Led by outstanding scholars and practitioners from Santa Clara University, the "Hear Their Voices, Heed Their Wisdom: Women of the Christian Tradition" Workshop Series will take place from 9 AM-11:30 AM at St. Martin of Tours on Saturdays. Each session will offer unique opportunities for reflection and discussion, with a goal of deepening our shared lives of faith. The series repeats monthly.
About our Speaker - A native of Evansville, IN, Paul Schutz received his B.A. in English from Boston College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Fordham University. His research focuses on the meaning and significance of creation in the Christian tradition, with an emphasis on how scientific research might inform religious accounts of humanity's relationship with other-than-human creatures. His recent book, A Theology of Flourishing, explores the potential of "flourishing" to serve as a starting point and center of gravity for Christian theology and spirituality and a basis for cultivating a robust praxis of ecological and social justice.
