Trauma and Theology Conference
With Dr Karen O’Donnell

McGrathCall Number: BT590.W6 MAC"Weaving cutting edge biblical scholarship together with an element of historical fiction and a knack for writing for a general audience, James McGrath makes the stories of women in the New Testament come alive, and sheds fresh light on the figure of Jesus as well. This book is a must read for scholars, students, and anyone else interested in Jesus and/or in the role of ancient women in the context of their times."

A Pink Crochet whare- and how to think differently

July 14, 2022

During Matariki, the stars took on another form. Not in the deep dark sky, but in a workshop in Manurewa, three brilliant stars shone out in glorious pinks, blues, yellow and green. This colour overload greeted members of AWSC visiting the workshop of Lissy Cole and Rudi Robison. Lissy and Rudi are drawing from traditional forms and crafts and creating new possibilities. https://www.lissycole.com/wharenuiharikoa This resonated with AWSC as they too are drawing from the wisdom and experience of the past to create a new way for women in the Anglican Church. An initial graphic for AWSC has been the concept of a wharenui, with its pou. These pou represent areas of work for AWSC … [Read more...]

Dangerous words: Women, Bible, Earth

April 13, 2022

You are invited to another opportunity to hear Emily Colgan, this time in person, in Hamilton. Friday 29 April 2022 10.30 am -1.30pm Chartwell Cooperating Parish 124 Comries Rd, Chartwell, Hamilton Dr Emily Colgan, Biblical scholar, reveals the dangers of dualistic thinking about women and earth in sacred text.  Feminine and land-based metaphors in sacred texts  can influence real world assumptions, attitudes and behaviours towards women and the earth – without the readers’ knowledge.  At the heart of the problem, said Dr Colgan, is a mindset formed in ancient times and perpetuated in ‘the West,’ that categorises everything into an ordered list of … [Read more...]

Wisdom from members

The Hui for me was so special, as it reminded me of why our role is special within our Church, Communities and especially our families. I was reminded of the importance of our calling as women to “mother” “nurture” and “recognize” the journey or paths that we must take.
