Description
Featuring guest course lecturer, Dr Paula Gooder of St Paul’s Cathedral, London, Women of the Bible is a ten-day pilgrimage course focusing on the roles, images, and contributions of women in the Old and New Testaments and the sites and stories associated with them. Attention will be given to the places, traditions, and images of many different women both named and unnamed in the Bible, from Mary the mother of Jesus to the prophet Hulda, from the woman who anointed Jesus to those who supported him financially. The course also recognizes historical women who have contributed to the Holy Land in the post-biblical period as well as the experience of contemporary women living in the land.
A transformational journey of faith in the footsteps of female figures, Women of the Bible incorporates classroom lectures, on-site visits, a residential pilgrim community, the voices of others, prayer, worship, and personal time and reflection. The course includes a three-day, two-night excursion to the Galilee.
Women of the Bible is open to everyone, both men and women, individuals as well as parish and diocesan groups.
