GENDER, POWER, AND FAITH: THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROLE OF AFRICAN WOMEN BISHOPS IN CHURCH AND SOCIETY
About this Event

Join CACS and the Rt. Rev. Dr. Vicentia Kgabe for a lunchtime forum. This presentation explores the pioneering role of African women bishops as agents of change within both the church and society. It examines how their leadership challenges traditional gender norms, reshapes power dynamics in ecclesiastical structures, and redefines how faith is practised in contemporary Africa. By tracing their journeys, voices, and experiences, the study highlights how women bishops embody inclusive leadership, promote social justice, and inspire new models of pastoral care. Their example extends beyond the pulpit, addressing urgent social issues such as poverty, gender-based violence, education, and community development. This investigation positions African women bishops not only as spiritual leaders but also as catalysts for broader societal change, contributing to global discussions on gender, leadership, and the future of Christianity.


Sign up early to receive a free bagged lunch courtesy of CACS! Early bird registration ends one week before the event.


This event may include a Facebook livestream. More information will be provided the week of the event.
