The Following pictures were taken at Teofilo Kisanji University in Mbeya, Tanzania. It was such an honor to spend 2 1/2 weeks at the University collaborating with the theology faculty and students on a resource to be used in both North America and Tanzania that focuses on violence against women and the Bible's use to empower and marginalize women. We had many wonderful conversations around these issues--all prompted by our desire to emphasize the importance of empowering churches to talk openly about violence against women as well as the Moravian Unity Resolutions numbers 1 and 8 that call our seminaries to provide resources on these topics and to serve as advocates for women. We were greatly encouraged by The Reverend Patty Garner and the Moravian Woman's Unity Desk. Their support was invaluable. Without going into much detail at this point, at TEKU we examined the resolutions, talked about rape and violence against women and used the stories of Dinah (Genesis 34) and the rape of Tamar (2 Samuel 13) as a jumping off places for our discussions of this difficult issue. In addition, we emphasized the important presence of women leaders in both the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament. When we weren't working together with the faculty, staff and students, Nancy and I met with leaders from the Tanzanian Moravian Church as well as students and faculty at Utengule and Lutengano. The discussions provided feedback and clarity to our resource project. The hospitality that we received from the leadership at TEKU was much appreciated. The next couple of months will be focused on co-writing this resource so that it can be used by the church as seminaries. What a wonderful experience!!
