I’ve Got the Power! Naming and reclaiming power as a force for good

I’ve got the power! Naming and reclaiming power as a force for good was the second Women Doing Theology conference organized by the Women in Leadership Project. Over 150 participants gathered at the National Conference Center in Leesburg, Virginia to explore together what it means to recognize the power we possess and how scary it can feel to exercise that power. We journeyed beyond simply recognizing power and took steps towards embracing it — acknowledging that the Spirit of God can and will work in and through us as we do.
