Feminist Theology Group: Claire Renkin claire.ren@optusnet.com.au reports: “We are faithful Catholic women who gather to share our hopes and our struggles to create a more just and inclusive church. We gather to pray and reflect on a book, article or event that challenges us to imagine what a church that values and respects women’s baptismal call and gifts might look like. Our practice is to meet monthly in the evening.” Further details will be posted shortly.
