    Faculty Lecture: Scandal, Sex, and Saving Grace

    March 28, 2019 from 12:00pm - 1:00pm

    Faculty Lecture: Scandal, Sex, and Saving Grace

    12:00 - 1:00 p.m.

    Please join us for this, the first lecture of our 2019 Faculty Lecture Series. Natalie Kertes Weaver, PhD, professor of Religious Studies and co-director of Graduate Theology and Pastoral Studies, presents "Scandal, Sex, and Saving Grace." Says Dr. Weaver, "Aimed at equipping people with a better skill set for discussing and responding to the sexual abuse crisis and related issues in the Roman Catholic Church today, this talk will address the inadequacies of historical teachings around the sexual person in Christian thought, offering proposed solutions for a more complete understanding of sexual being and morality for today’s faithful. By revising past constructions of sex, gender, and power in Church, we can build a more complete representation of human embodiment as an element of God’s good creation, manifest in the sacramental body of Christ."

    Dr. Weaver is Professor of Religious Studies and co-director of Graduate Theology and Pastoral Studies at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio. She is an international speaker and multiply published author, with texts on Marriage and Family: A Christian Theological Foundation (Anselm, 2009); Christian Thought and Practice: A Primer (Anselm, 2013); The Theology of Suffering: An Introduction for Caregivers (Routledge, 2013); and Christian Thought and Practice: A Primer – Revised Edition (Anselm, 2015). Her areas of interest and expertise include feminist theology, theology of suffering and death, theology of the family, and theology and music. Her current works in development include a text on Intersex and Theological Anthropology and Theology and Music.
