Women’s Ordination Worldwide (WOW) invites you to submit a workshop proposal for the 2015 WOW International Conference: “Gender, Gospel, and Global Justice,” to be held in Philadelphia, PA from September 18-20, 2015 at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott.

We anticipate three types or “tracks” of workshops addressing the above issues through a multicultural, international, and intersectional lens. Here are just some examples…

Gender:
– “Theology of the Body”
– in Persona Christi
– One Bread, One Body
– Sexual Ethics

Gospel:
– Marian thought
– Restoration of the Diaconate
– Early Christian leaders
– Liturgical translations

Global Justice:
– Women in Conflict areas
– The charism of the sisterhood
– Feminist liberation theology
– Ending violence against women

Workshops should be timely and include an action component so that in addition to identifying the problem, you also discuss challenges and propose solutions. Each workshop should also suggest efforts that activists and organizers can take in their local communities to increase awareness and/or push for change.
