Pre-Conference
Women, Theology, Leadership, and Power: Lessons From Our Past for Leadership Today | Get a taste of seminary
Wednesday, November 2nd, 1-4PM
Join Northern Seminary professors Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Ingrid Faro for an intensive 3-hour session on leadership and theology. Drs. Cohick and Faro are esteemed scholars whose work includes a focus on women in Scripture and the ancient world. As sought after speakers and academics, Lead Bold is pleased to offer their voices to our conversation on leadership.
Women today stand in a tradition of strength and power that they often do not realize exists. Throughout history, contributions of women have been muted or silenced. In our time together, we will learn more about the vision, power, and voice of these ancient women and discover the timeless lessons their leadership provides for us today.
If you have ever considered attending seminary but wondered if theological education was for you, this pre-conference opportunity allows you to get a taste of seminary and discover more about what a seminary degree could do for your leadership.
