Faith and feminism

May 11th, 2008

Women of all faiths, and none, are invited to take part in a discussion about faith and feminism at YWCA Roundabout Centre, Gayfield Place on Wednesday 14 May, 7.00 pm. If you know anyone who would be interested, pass on the news.

Faith and Feminism is hosted by the Edinburgh Feminist Network who organised the very successful Reclaim the Night march in Edinburgh last autumn. Rebecca Heller of EFN says the discussion promises a fascinating insight into the experience of women of different faiths. But you don’t have to belong to a particular faith or be a feminist to take part. So far Rebecca says the panel includes a Christian, an atheist, a Humanist and a Pagan.

If you would like to take part or know someone who might like to then get in touch with Rebecca. She says: “If you are considering speaking but are nervous, please don’t worry - some of the other panel are dead nervous too (naming no names!) and the chair will ensure that the discussion and any questions are kept as safe and as gentle as possible.”
