Dates: 3rd Wednesday - March 18, April 15, May 20 (time 6-7:30pm)
Join The Interfaith Center and Spring House for an interfaith speaker series exploring how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam speak about the Sacred through feminine imagery, stories, and attributes. Guest speakers from each tradition will reflect on how God is described and experienced within their own faith and will share stories of significant women from their tradition’s sacred history.
This series seeks to balance and broaden our spiritual imagination by expanding the ways we imagine God—masculine, feminine, and beyond—so that our connections to the Divine may be deepened and enriched. By engaging sacred texts, theology, and lived tradition, we will consider how feminine language and metaphors for the Divine have been present—sometimes prominently, sometimes quietly—across all three faiths.
Speakers and dates:
March 18 - Christianity: The Rev. Patricia Matthews is an Episcopal priest and the Executive Director of The Interfaith Center.
April 15 - Judaism: Francesca Rubinson, M. Div. is the Senior Social Justice Organizer at the Workers Circle, a national organization that celebrates Jewish culture and the pursuit of social justice.
May 20 - Islam: Imam Mohammed Nawaz is an Imam and teacher at the Madina Institute Center for Nonviolence & Peace.
Participants are encouraged to attend all three sessions for the fullest experience, though each lecture stands on its own and welcomes seekers from any background.
