Across the globe, Catholics are actively discerning about women’s access to diaconal ministry. Join the Magdala Colloquy for a virtual gathering to learn about St. Phoebe, who served as a deacon with St. Paul in the early Church, and why she is such an important figure for us today. Be updated on the Church’s magisterial teaching on women’s leadership after the Synod on Synodality and what has been happening at the Vatican regarding the ongoing commissions for discerning the diaconate for women. Lend your voice to this vital conversation!

Mary of Nazareth is central to the Christian scriptures as the mother of Jesus and a model of Christian discipleship. Many Christians may not be aware that Mary (or Maryam) is also central to Muslim faith, with a full surah of the Qur’an devoted to her memory. Join Professor Klaus von Stosch to reflect on the importance of this Mary, the Mary of the Qur’an, for interreligious dialogue and collaboration. Von Stosch is Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Bonn and an ordained deacon in the Catholic Church.
