Women in Religious Leadership (In-Person)

March 23, 2026 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

ICJS Library, 956 Dulaney Valley Road, Baltimore

The Women in Religious Leadership Gathering offers a forum for women to cultivate interreligious friendships and support one another in the joys and challenges of leadership. In celebration of Women’s History Month we will have a special conversation about the movie The Testament of Ann Lee which tells of the story of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers Movement and her community’s search to freely practice their beliefs.

In preparation for our time together please view the movie before the gathering or listen to the State of Belief podcast for an overview of the themes of the movie: Dancing with the Divine.

Please register for the in-person and/or online gathering by March 16, 2026.
