Gender and Inter-religious dialogue

Too often Christian women have been actively prevented from engaging in Inter-religious dialogue simply because they are women. This has sometimes been because they have not been welcomed by those of another faith tradition, but more often that not it is because Christian colleagues have believed it to be inappropriate, or sometimes even the women themselves. Because of this, oftentimes women's issues have been side-lined. This workshop will present the lived experience of women, and some men, actively engaged in dialogue and use their case studies as a means of discerning a Christ like nurturing of women's involvement in Inter-religious dialogue.
