Join us for a six-session, summer book study with our dear friend Barbara Thompson! Barbara will lead us through Caroline Criado Perez’s 2021 book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men which—through careful research—sets the stage for a conversation about gender equity in families, workplaces, communities, and the church. Each session will be held virtually on Zoom to allow maximum participation, inclusive of our friends far and wide. Read on for more about the book and then register and order your copy today!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development to health care, from education to public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take gender into account and treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are built into our systems. Women pay tremendous costs for this bias—in time, in money, and often with their lives. Author Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality in Invisible Women.
Join us for a two-part discussion in response to Kaitlin Curtice’s March lecture and her new book Living Resistance. Please come for one or both as you’re able!
On May 10th we will gather in the Marcy Chapel at 7PM to discuss personal practices, inner work, and contemplative dimensions of resistance that Curtice inspires us to choose for ourselves.
On May 24th we will gather outdoors in the Lakeside Chapel at 7PM to discuss dimensions of kinship, that is our connection to each other, our communities, and the natural world. We will also focus on wisdom that Curtice speaks directly to the church and consider how we can nurture ecosystems of healing and wholeness. (The Marcy Chapel will serve as a rain location.)
This event is open to all, including those who missed the talk and haven’t read the book! You may certainly lean in with us and strengthen the insights we derive together.
Please note, you only have to register once for this 2-part event!

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Ministry is a community partner for a special Orlando screening of the film “Pray Away” on April 30th! This Emmy-nomiated Netflix documentary explores stories from former leaders and a survivor of ex-gay conversion therapy, speaking about its lasting harm and devastating persistence. This is recent history, and yet faith-based organizations are mobilizing right now to bring this dangerous practice back. While Christians disagree on roles for LGBTQ persons in families and church, the pseudo-scientific practice of conversion therapy is widely condemned as traumatizing.
Our DEI ministry invites you to watch this screening with us! A panel discussion will follow the film featuring community advocates, conversion therapy survivors, and faith leaders. It will take all of us working together to ban conversion therapy in Florida and protect the next generation of LGBTQ persons.
The event is FREE but registration is required. Doors open at 6:30pm and the program begins promptly at 7:00PM. Parking available in the garages off McRae Ave or Alden Road.
