Women's History Month

Come hear Dr. Edmondson share insights on how faithfulness to Christ requires that we learn from the past in order to address the challenges of the present, drawing on insights from her most recent book, Faithful Antiracism: Moving Past Talk to Systemic Change. She is the co-founder of the multi-racial Koinonia Church, where she serves on the pastoral staff along with her husband. Christina formerly served as Dean for Intercultural Student Development at Calvin University, and has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, an M.S. in Family Therapy, and a B.A. in Sociology.

The Wesley Fellowship is bringing back Bloom Bar for Women's History Month in collaboration with Belmont’s Office of Hope Unity and Belonging. They will be handing out free flowers to remind everyone that they belong at Belmont. All are welcome to create their own bouquet; each wrapped with a kind message to affirm that every member of our community has a place here.

This talk explores the rich history of women’s intramural sports at Belmont University from our earliest days in the 1890s, to the introduction of women’s competitive sports in the 1960s. Molly Randolph, University Archivist, uses examples from the University archives to illustrate this important history and to shed light on the hurdles that women have overcome. Please join us!

Many non-Christians, and Christians, have in recent years become convinced that science and faith are at war with one another. We will hear from Dr. Deborah Haarsma, an MIT-trained astrophysicist and former president of the Biologos Foundation, which explores the intersection of science and faith. She is co-author of Christ and the Created Order and Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design and is part of Cambridge University’s Faraday Institute Test of Faith multimedia curriculum.

Cornelia Fort, graduate of Ward-Belmont in 1936, was a pioneering American aviator and the first female flight instructor in Nashville. She famously witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor while flying with a student and later joined the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS), which became part of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). Fort ferried military aircraft during WWII and became the first female pilot in the US to die in the line of duty.

Please join us at 5pm on March 30th for the screening of Judith Miller’s new documentary about Fort's life. **Crosswinds: Chronicles the Life and Legacy of Cornelia Fort*, featuring never-before-seen archival footage, personal interviews with Fort family members, and analysis by an aviation expert who provides insight into the mystery of Cornelia’s plane in Hawaii in 1941 and her tragic mid-air collision and death in March 1943. Following the screening of the documentary, there will be a question and answer session with the film maker, Judith Miller, as well as a small reception.
