A few impactful women come to mind when we think of female leaders of different faiths.
But many faiths have a complex relationship with female leadership. In many faith traditions, women are barred from certain positions simply because they are women. Why is this? Are there female priests? Rabbis? Gurus? In this webinar we will speak with four female religious leaders from different faith traditions. How do they understand their leadership? What is their experience being a female leader in an often male-dominated context? What is the value of female religious leadership, and do they think there are any limitations to the ways that women can lead in their faith communities? Join us for what promises to be a challenging, exciting, and inspiring discussion with these powerful women of faith!

Charles Taylor defines secularity not simply as a lack of religious belief, but instead as a complex societal paradigm shift; a new context in which all experiences of both belief and unbelief take place. As women from different faith traditions, we want to explore together what our faiths mean to us in the modern world. Our experiences and perspectives will almost certainly be different. Indeed, thatʼs the point! This webinar is the first in a series of interfaith conversations by and for women where we seek to learn from each other and encourage one another through transformative conversation--for real!
