Join us for Theology on Tap at the Ground Round on Tuesday May 10th at 7pm. Mary Forman, OSB will present on foundational women in the Church as a counterpart to last month's discussion on the Patristics.Feel free to bring questions! Join us for drinks/dinner/conversation and fun. Feel free to bring a friend or come for great company.
An overview:
In the history of women leaders in the church there are a number of women, who served as presiders of house churches in the first generations of Christianity. In the next era after Christianity was approved as a religion of the empire, women called “ammas” emerged as leaders of prayer groups, Bible study groups, spiritual directors and leaders of ascetical/monastic communities. After an opening overview on some of these significant women and their contributions, implications of these contributions can be explored and dialogued.
We hope to see you there!
