WomanKind 2020: Fearless Women of Faith

Since 2004, the women laity and clergy of St. James's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia have welcomed women to explore their Christian faith and the role of women in the church during a two-day conference held every other year. WomanKind is a weekend of faith and fellowship, enlightenment and engagement for women. An ecumenical Christian gathering, WomanKind welcomes women of all faiths.  
 
WomanKind's 2020 theme Fearless Women of Faith explores and celebrates how God has inspired fearlessness in us. Keynote speaker Lisa Sharon Harper draws on God's original vision of a world that is "very good" - is shalom. Harper declares that shalom is the Gospel's vision for us now - shalom between us and God, within our broken families, between races and nations. In keynote sessions, workshops, and worship, participants will examine fearlessness in the face of injustice, violence against women, life transitions, the unknown, vulnerability, and even fear itself. Together, they will seek Christ's healing, strength, and fearlessness.
