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.
