Monday, April 22 — Women’s Lectionary Online Bible Study
All Sessions are on Mondays at 9:00 a.m. Pacific standard time. What does it look like to tell the good news through the stories of women who are often on the margins of scripture and often set up to represent bad news? How would a lectionary centering women’s stories, chosen with womanist and feminist commitments in mind, frame the presentation of the scriptures for proclamation and teaching? Join us for online Bible Study. Each session will begin with a reflection on the readings and Dr. Gafney’s notes from a noted woman of color who is a theologian, priest, deacon, bishop, biblical scholar, psychologist, etc. in order to ground the conversation in the womanist perspective from which the lectionary was written. Register in advance here and you will be sent the link for the meeting (the link will be good for the whole year).
