Join us for a discussion of Katey Zeh’s Women Rise UpWomen Rise Up shares the stories of biblical women connecting them to contemporary global gender issues. Hannah struggled with depression over her infertility. Mary Magdalene witnessed the execution of her friend. Ruth was an undocumented migrant worker at risk of sexual violence. And yet, these women discovered powerful ways to resist by claiming the power of their innate sacred worth. What can we learn from these foremothers of our faith that will help guide us in our collective struggle for gender justice today? Zeh speaks truth to women's oppression and erasure while reminding us of the sacredness of women's experience, wisdom, solidarity, and sisterhood. You do not have to read the book to join us in this important discussion. All are welcome! Contact Karen Anderson-Lain at kanders1313@gmail.com for more information.
