Description

Women, Religion, and Dialogue: The Challenge of Social Justice

Historically, despite being marginalized from the public sphere, women have been at the forefront of social movements, using sacred scripture to promote dialogue, justice, equality, and peace.

In this short essay, you will explore how women using their own interpretation (hermeneutics) of scripture have called for and implemented social change. How does religion, both challenge and enable women to exercise their moral agency?
TOPIC: Catholicism and Contraception and Abortion

Choose a social movement of your interest and highlight the profile of a woman OR a women-led organization to showcase how they have used their interpretation of scripture to promote dialogue and advance the movement. Focus on one religion or two if you wish to write a comparative paper.
For example, you can choose same-sex marriage from a Catholic and Protestant perspectives.
You may begin your research by focusing on ONE of the movements or ONE woman.
