October 2023
Rev. Joel Tishken & DLRE Jesse Daniel – “Sunday School Reimagined” (October 1, 2023)
September 2023
Rev. Angela Nevitt Meyer, guest speaker — “Deconstructing Patriarchy: Roman Catholic Women Priests (RCWP) and the Call to Equality” (September 24, 2023)
In 2002, three Bishops ordained seven women in a clandestine ceremony on the Danube. One year later, they ordained two of those women as bishops, and the women continued ordaining others in apostolic succession to the priesthood. Today, there are more than 200 women priests worldwide. Rome distrusts and excommunicates them. But they persist, pastoring communities, fostering full gender and LGBTQ+ inclusion, and challenging the patriarchy while laying claim to what it means to be Catholic. Angela will share about the history of this movement, its relevance, and answer your questions, too!
