Whoever Has the Gift

Ever since the earliest days of Christianity, the role for women in the Church has been a matter of hot debate that even today has yet to be resolved. However, there has been a shift in the way a woman’s role is defined with the help of laborers like Macrina, Hildegard von Bingen, Catherine Mumford Booth, Catherine Bramwell Booth and Aimee Semple McPherson in the white fields of ministry. We will be exploring each of these women and how they have contributed to a question we have been trying to answer for many years: should women be allowed to preach and lead in pastoral ministry?

Study Abroad/Away Experience Reflecting on Study Tour of Civil Way Battle Sites (Spring 2011)

This presentation highlights the importance of a study away experience. The panel is composed of students who participated in a summer class that explored several Civil War battle sites on the 150th sesquicentennial of the Civil War’s outbreak. Taking the sites in order, the class studied such places as Harper’s Ferry, Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Monocacy, Petersburg, and Appomattox. Central to the class was an analysis of the political and technological implications of the war.
