This weekend I'm with Sharon Billings (former EEWC coordinator) and five other friends met through EEWC (Karen Torjeson, Barbra Graber, Joanne Feldmeth, Jeanne Sales, and Lois Lorentzen). We toured Point Reyes National Seashore today.
Two weeks ago I attended a 70th birthday party for Elizabeth Nordquist, where saw Libbie Patterson and Karen Berns. Elizabeth and Libbie planned our 1978 conference in Pasadena.
EEWC--Christian Feminism Today has been such a rich source of friendships for me!
I remember in the fall of 1970, in my first year or two of eager feminism, moving to Berkeley to start graduate school and realizing that I had almost no female friends. My friends in undergraduate years had been either roommates or men, many from InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
Determined to begin some new friendships with women, I asked a woman in my classes if she would like to be friends, but she was married and working full-time as well as starting a doctoral program, so it didn't work out.
Today, forty years later, I look back on a life-time rich with women friends, thanks in great part to the women I met through EEWC.
