Print this pageWelcome to the Centre for Women and Christian Traditions!
The Centre for Women and Christian Traditions (Centre FTC/WCT) promotes and supports Women's Studies and feminist research at Saint Paul University.
As a bilingual and multidisciplinary centre, the Centre for Women and Christian Traditions wishes to create a network involving those interested in Women's Studies and feminist research in Theology, Human Sciences, Philosophy, Counselling and Spirituality, Conflict Studies, Religion, and Ecofeminism.
The Centre's office is located in Room 1108 of Guigues Hall at Saint Paul University.
Current research project (2012–2015)
The recent research program of the active members of the Centre for Women and Christian Traditions concerns women's spirituality and the works of justice it can accomplish. Rarely is spirituality, properly understood, merely a private, static, inward-turned concept. Whether personal or communal, an authentic spirituality bears fruit: women energized and empowered by spiritual values and insights can reform social evils, heal deep wounds and effect reconciliation, bring striking new discoveries to research in theology, philosophy and human sciences, and re-vision traditions so as to build a fresh and hope-filled future. More information about this research project will be available in Fall 2012.
