 Women
in the Early Church
Winter 2004 Mosaic
Who were the women of the early church? What
was their role in the formation of the faith?
Why do we know so little about them? Recorded
on location in Rome, Italy, the
Winter 2004 edition of Mosaic brings a wealth of
modern scholarship to your congregation as we tell
the story of women in the first three centuries of
Christianity. You will learn about women like Perpetua,
Helena,
Thecla
and others.
 We
talk with scholars from Luther College, Wartburg
Theological Seminary, Lutheran School of Theology
at Philadelphia and the Lutheran School of
Theology at Chicago.
 "There are a number of
women in every epic of church history who have
answered the call,"
adds Cynthia Jűrisson,
Lutheran
School of Theology at Chicago.
"We
know that in the first century there were women in
leadership positions,." says
Robin D. Mattison, The
Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. Use this Mosaic Television offering in your adult
forum or women's gathering as a great way to
spotlight the gifts and ministry of women in the
church.
