Women's
Convocation II:
Tending
the Sacred Fire
The second Northwest Catholic Women's Convocation gathered 2000 women
and men in Seattle on April 27-28, 2001, to celebrate the many ways God
lives and moves in our lives. As faith-filled women, we joined together
for prayer, ritual and story; education and empowerment; celebration and
transformation. Affirmed in our spirituality, we act for justice in our
church and our world.
Convocation
Transformation sheets collectively called for:
Advocacy and support for diversity in our church and our world.
Increased recognition, respect and visibility for women in church leadership
and liturgical roles.
Ongoing education for spirituality and justice, including ways for women
to become active in justice issues locally and globally.
