AUGUST 8 - BOOK LAUNCH
Join us for the launch of Sarah Stankorb’s book, Disobedient Women. Sarah will be in conversation with editor, journalist, and Religion News Service columnist Jana Riess.
In Disobedient Women, journalist Sarah Stankorb gives long-overdue recognition to everyday women as leaders and as voices for a different sort of faith. Their work has driven journalists to help bring abuse stories to national attention. Stankorb weaves together the efforts of these courageous voices in order to present a full, layered portrait of the treatment of women and the fight for change within the modern American church.
