Welcome on the website

for our annual conference 2024

Date:

Start: Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 13:30 pm

End: Friday, March 8, 2024 at 13:00 pm

Place:

Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Organizer:

Institute of Global Church and Mission (IWM)

in cooperation with:

 

the Chair for Medieval and Modern Church History at the Sankt Georgen Graduate School

 

and the Chair of Church History in the Department of Catholic Theology at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.

The event will focus on the missionary commitment of women, which has decisively shaped the development of the Catholic Church. Contrary to the traditionally Eurocentric male narrative anchored in mission history, the conference wants to open up spaces for a historical, mission-theological and contemporary examination of the work of women in the universal church. The contributions will focus on women as mission actors in different roles as members of religious communities, mothers, teachers, doctors, catechists, converts or candidates for baptism. Starting from the history of mission, the conference wants to make a contribution of “becoming visible” of women by letting different reference sciences enter into dialogue about the mentioned questions. Reflections on current developments, such as the Synodal Process, will provide a link to the present day church.

 

Contributions from current international research and insights into practical contexts illuminate the topic from different perspectives:

 

  • How are women in mission portrayed in historical documents and what significance is attributed to them in mission history?

 

  • What traces of women in the movement of Christianity through space and time can be discerned and how do these shape theological questions about a reflected understanding of mission?

 

  • In what ways can mission history be adequately discussed today in light of postcolonial critiques regarding the intertwining of colonialism and mission?

 

  • How do women religious from different countries reflect on their role in mission in the Catholic Church?
