This week we convened a meeting in London on the subject of ‘Women in Religious Leadership’ with The Rt Rev Bishop Rachel Treweek, Bishop of Gloucester and Dr Shuruq Naguib, Lecturer in Islamic Studies, Lancaster University.
We heard guest speaker presentations on ‘Women in Religious Leadership and ‘Overcoming challenges to women in religious leadership’ followed by small group discussions on some of the barriers facing women in religious leadership and the forms of religious leadership in Christian and Muslim communities. The meeting was chaired by CMF Trustee, Jill Dhell.
