3rd Theological Live-rary: Women of Faiths, Beyond Theological Borders

The project aims to enable women to present different theological topics through contemporary real-life interaction.

Women actors “become” living books, sharing their theological experiences. This interactive learning space is designed for women theologians to articulate their theological praxis in one of the specific areas:

1. Engaging African Theology, Women as Preachers of Equality
2. Theology of Struggle by Women in Asian Context
3. Where There Is Justice Among Women in Dalit Faith
4. Believing in Modernity, Women as Ministers and Celebrants
5. Women and Violence, War and Forced Migration
6. Eco-feminism and Eco-Theology

Women actively engage in theological discourse across cultures and diverse faith practices today. The presence of women in Intercultural Theology offers a platform to contribute their theological experiences and endeavors within the Faculty of Theology and across academic disciplines in the University.

The 3nd event of the project will take place on the 25^th of October 2 - 4 pm at the Theological Stift (Geiststraße 9, 37073 Göttingen).
