Young Women & the Word ‘09
“Adventist Women & the Earth…a Response to Ecofeminism”
La Sierra University Church, Riverside, California
April 24-26, 2009
Hosted by the Women’s Resource Center and co-sponsored by La Sierra University and the School of Religion at La Sierra University.
This conference aims to address our responsibility to the environment and to explore connections with gender justice. We hope to lead out and show how young Adventist women care about the abuse of the earth and women; and challenge others not only to recognize this problem but to actively create and practice solutions that respect the dignity and value of God’s creations. The main topic will be addressed utilizing discussions on leadership, practical solutions, dialogue on the parallels between our ethic toward the environment and women, and so forth.
Keynote Speaker: Rosemary Radford Ruether
A leading theologian, Ruether is formerly Professor of Feminist Theology at Garrett Evangelical Seminary, Pacific School of Theology and the Graduate Theological Union. She is currently visiting Professor of Feminist Theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University.
Also featuring: John B. Cobb, Jr., Chris Oberg, Jared Wright, Maritza Duran, Warren Trenchard, Ginger Hanks-Harwood, Somer Penington, Wendy Walters, and Sheryll Prinz-McMillan.
