Justice, not "just-us"
Theologies of Liberation Through Women's Witness
Young Feminist Network Retreat in Cuernavaca, Mexico
July 15-22, 2001
The Young Feminist Network of the Women’s Ordination Conference
will gather in Cuernavaca Mexico to explore together the witness of women
working for change. This week-long retreat will focus on first-world women
of faith entering into dialogue with women from the third-world who are working
for justice. The retreat will provide the opportunity to encounter the spirit
of social transformation in Latin America. Participants will meet with various
Mexican women involved in community organizing, health initiatives, Christian
Base Communities and alternative economic systems. Participants will learn
how the faith of these women informs their actions for justice in their communities
and in their Church. Young Catholic feminists will learn about new models
of solidarity and how their faith in action is tied to the global community.
The registration of $200.00 includes, lodging, meals, and transportation
while in Mexico. Participants are responsible for their own airfare. Scholarships
for registration and travel are available. The registration deadline is June
22!
