For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.
Women on the Verge: The Roman Catholic Womenpriest Movement

A recording is available below.
The Roman Catholic Womenpriest movement, or RCWP, is a discrete religious revolution comprising a small group of tenacious women defying the Catholic patriarchy by taking on the priestly role and demanding reconsideration of Roman Catholic tradition.
What does it mean to be a Roman Catholic Womanpriest? Whom do they serve and how do they fit—or not—in the Catholic church today? Join Jill Peterfeso, author of Womanpriest: Tradition and Transgression in the Contemporary Roman Catholic Church, an ethnography of the RCWP movement, for an exploration of the ongoing tensions in Roman Catholicism around gender and sexuality, priestly authority, and religious change.
Jill Peterfeso is the Eli Franklin Craven and Minnie Phipps Craven Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Guilford College. She is a cultural historian of American religion who uses ethnography to explore questions of gender, authority, and creativity in Roman Catholicism and Mormonism.
