DAUGHTERS OF WISDOM: WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP IN THE GLOBAL CHURCH (Studies in World Catholicism; WipfandStock, 2023)

The essays in this volume were initially presented at an international conference organized by the Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology (CWCIT) at DePaul University. The reference to "Daughters of Wisdom" in the title for this volume was aimed at capturing the diversity of ways which women have found to exercise their leadership in responding to the challenging and/or hopeful realities of their contextual locations and their faith and social communities. The authors address particularly different aspects of women's leadership in the Catholic Church, with a special emphasis on the global South. The contributors are lay and religious people from India, Nigeria, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, the US, Singapore, and the Philippines. The topics explored in this volume include women's use of Scripture, the ecclesiological basis for women in church leadership, and the leadership roles that women have been exercising already in grassroots church communities, in Marian devotion, in faith-based social movements, and in theological education.

The crisis's complexity calls for "an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature." 4 In other words, through the concept of integral ecology, Pope Francis is connecting three dots (or areas): ecology (the environment), economics, and society. These interconnected areas are "three essential aspects of what many in the environmental community and elsewhere see as indispensable for humanity to achieve a sustainable relationship with the Earth." 5 The concept of integral ecology also provides a platform for integral dialogues between and among diverse faith communities and societies. The FWC illustrates a case where the three areas-the environment, economics, and society-intersected and generated a concrete case of ecological and intergenerational racial injustice. This complex understanding of ecojustice, or integral ecology, was addressed in the 2018 colloquium of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians in the United States (ACHTUS), entitled "A Community of Creation: Latinxs,

This study is divided into two main parts: (1) it provides three guiding principles to challenge the indifference and dehumanization that render this community invisible then and now; and (2) it offers a general analysis of the Hebrew term גר (ger)—used to refer to the “immigrant/alien”—in the Pentateuch’s legal codes to show that despite the fact that these codes do not address the specific issue of sexual assault of immigrant women farmworkers, it provides a paradigm that upholds “principled” laws.

First, a description of the historical background out of which an epistemological space for feminist discourse(s) is identified; and second, a description of the development in the theoretical articulation of the FBH discourse(s) per se once this space was established. An overview that addresses these two stages allows those who are interested in engaging feminist discourse(s) to appreciate and appropriate the key epistemological elements on which feminist discourse(s) are based.
