The Women's
Studies Group was formed in the early 1980s to provide a vehicle
for exploring issues and topics of particular interest to women.
It is an intergenerational group, which brings together not only
Central members but also women from throughout the community. The
members begin their time of fellowship by sharing a meal before
moving on to the evening's main topic of discussion. With the help
of books, articles, and guest speakers, the Women's Studies Group
has discussed issues as diverse as women's health, the civil rights
movement, women's role in the political process, artistic interpretations,
and women in the Bible. The group meets in members' homes on the
third Thursday of the month, September through May
(excluding December).
Women's Studies at Central is open to any woman who
would like to attend. We are a very informal group. Dinner
is served at 7:00 p.m. and different members sign
up ahead of time to bring the pot luck dinner. It's fun to
cook, but also a treat to come and eat and enjoy the cooking of
other. For information about upcoming meetings, call the Church Office (404.659.0274) or watch for announcements in The Weekly.
