2006 Agenda
This seminar’s primary focus will be “ Prayers and Their Worlds of Meaning” in response to a challenge by our 2004 keynote speaker who asked academy members to explore whether or not they are providing alternative worlds of meaning to the anti-redemptive cultural forces of TV programs such as "The Sopranos." Because discussion of this year's material demonstrated that our individual theological premises share differing nuances, we agreed that it would be helpful to explore these nuances in greater depth. All members will be asked to examine their own written prayers, individual and communal and note the images they rely on.
We will also hear presentations by two of last year's visitors:
- Slyvia Sweeney
will offer “A Re-examination of Ash Wednesday in Light
of
a Feminist Hermeneutic of Death.” - Myung-Sil Kim will offer “An Examination of Female Imagery in Prayers of Lamentation for Sexually Abused Women.”
