Cathedral Commons— Dr. Christena Cleveland and the Black Madonnas: The Pilgrimage of a Womanist Theologian

May 10, 2023 @ 6:45 pm - 8:15 pm

TWO WEDNESDAYS, MAY 10 & 24, 2023, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom. Optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family).

The Rev. Canon Carla Robinson will lead a discussion of the book God Is a Black Woman by Dr. Christena Cleveland, as seen through the lens of pilgrimage. The book itself came out of her journey to see the Black Madonnas of France. In this series we will explore the major themes of Dr. Cleveland’s latest book.

NEW LINK FOR PART 2: Join online using this Zoom link.

Dr. Cleveland will be visiting the Cathedral in June. This short series is intended to help people prepare for the material she will present when she comes to Saint Mark’s. Attendees are asked to view either of the two podcasts (linked below) in which Dr. Cleveland is interviewed and then to read the book.

")); } });
