Faith, Feminism, and Being Unfinished III: Love Wins

The background of the image features various shades of light blue. In white and light brown text, the event title, "Faith, Feminism, and Being Unfinished III: Love Wins," is displayed, along with the description: "Conscience, creativity, and the call for global gender justice." The event is inspired by the 2009 Madeleva Lecture by theologian Anne E. Patrick, SNJM (1941-2016), on Women, Conscience, and the Creative Process. The event will take place on March 11 from 4-6 PM at the Maria & Alberto De La Cruz Art Gallery at Georgetown University. Featured guests include musical artist Michaela Harrison (SFS '92), Program Director at the Women's Ordination Conference, Katie Lacz, and Executive Director at the Women's Ordination Conference, Kate McElwee.

Tuesday, March 11, 2025 | 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Hybrid Event | Maria & Alberto De La Cruz Art Gallery, Georgetown University Main Campus | Zoom Link

This event marks the third installment of the Faith, Feminism, and Being Unfinished series, inspired by the writings of theologian Anne E. Patrick, SNJM (1941–2016), whose work continues to influence contemporary conversations on faith, conscience, and gender.

Faith, Feminism, and Being Unfinished III: Love Wins will feature musical performances by artist Michaela Harrison (SFS ’92), followed by a conversation led by Katie Lacz and Kate McElwee from the Women’s Ordination Conference. The discussion will be inspired by the 2009 Madeleva Lecture by Anne E. Patrick, SNJM (1941–2016), on Women, Conscience, and the Creative Process, which explores the intersection of women’s lived experiences, creativity, and spiritual reflection.

Previous events in this series have focused on Patrick’s On Being Unfinished: Collected Writings of Anne E. Patrick (Orbis, 2017) and her influential 1975 essay, A Conservative Case for the Ordination of Women. 

We invite attendees to reflect on Anne Patrick’s contributions to theological discourse, especially at a time where demands for global gender justice in all spaces, particularly within faith-based communities, is growing stronger.
