Re-Imagining: Revisited and Revised

With Sara M. Evans and Sherry Jordon

It has been nearly 25 years since 2000+ theologians, clergy, and laity assembled at the first Re-Imagining: A Global Theological Conference By Women: For Men and Women, to address injustices to women and promote equal partnership with men at all levels of religious life. Join us for a conversation with historian Dr. Sara M. Evans and feminist theologian Dr. Sherry Jordon as they introduce the new Re-Imagining Community web portal and facilitate a conversation on the future of the Re-Imagining Movement.

In addition to this discussion, Dr. Evans will provide a history of the Re-Imagining movement in a program at the Holsti-Anderson Family Assembly Room (Rubenstein Library Room 153) on Tuesday, April 18, at 4 pm. Reception to begin at 3:30 pm.

Co-Sponsored with the Sallie Bingham Center by the Forum for Scholars and Publics at Duke, the Duke Divinity School, the Program in Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, the Duke University Chapel, the Resource Center for Women, and Ministry in the South. More information about the Re-Imagining conference and movement can be found in the collections of Duke University’s Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture. Read about the papers of one of the organizers of the conference, Reverend Jean Audrey Powers, in this Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library blog post from April 2015.
