Updated Committee Report on Plans for EEWC Conference 2008 in Indianapolis

The Indiana Chapter of EEWC would like to invite all members and others interested in Christian Feminism to Indianapolis June 27-29, 2008 for “A Place at the Table,” EEWC’s biennial conference.  The title was inspired by the hymn written by Shirley Erena Murray and Jane Marshall, which was introduced to us by Mel Bringle at the2006 conference in Charlotte.  We believe the title reflects EEWC’s longstanding position and commitment to compassion, equality, and justice for all peoples, as expressed in Galatians 3:28 – “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus” (NRSV). The theme verse for the conference is Proverbs 9:5-6 (NRSV): [Wisdom (Sophia) says,] “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”

An active committee of eight, chaired by Barbara Boyd Crews and Kay Kiehlbauch Nannet, are meeting regularly and planning another enriching and stretching experience for your minds and spirits, and perhaps your bodies as well!  Committee members include:  Becky Bender, Sharon Bowes, Helen Claire Ferguson, Marg Herder, Georgean Johnson-Coffey, and Tina Osborn. 

We in Indiana are very excited about this opportunity that we are called to, and we have received many positive and supportive statements from our EEWC family across the country.  We challenge you, as we have challenged ourselves, to bring at least one new member into this organization before the conference begins in 2008.  We have a great message for the faithful and look forward to spreading the Good News of the Divine’s Love.
