International Women’s Day Posts
The world is celebrating International Women’s Day today. It is a day dedicated to the celebration of women’s social, economic and political achievements worldwide. In the United States, this official day of observance is rooted in women’s efforts to campaign for rights to work, vote and hold public office, culminating on March 8, 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter work hours, better pay, voting rights, and an end to sweatshop conditions and child labor. It is a day to celebrate justice and to listen to women’s voices.
So today many of us are taking time to listen to the voices of women of faith – looking to the women in the Bible, church history, and those who helped shape our faith. Some of us are blogging in a synchroblog and others are preaching about biblical women in churches. I encourage you to read through the following links and hear how others have listened to the voices of women. If you have a link you would like to add to the list or a description of your church service, please post it in the comments.
