Women of the ELCA
Bible Study Seminar
Wartburg Theological Seminary
The Program
Company’s coming! Kay Ward has invited nine women from the Old Testament, several from the New Testament and a handful of women she knows, to stop in for a visit. They will be companions with us each month,long enough for us to get to know them and to also get to know ourselves a bit better. Their stories will draw us into Bible study, worship with the Psalms, and opportunities to tell our own stories.
Dr. Kay Ward
Dr. Kay Ward was elected to be a bishop in the Moravian Unity in 1998, the first woman to be chosen in its 550 years of history. She has served as a parish pastor, and in 2006 retired as professor and administrator of Moravian Theological Seminary in Bethlehem, Pa. Kay has written three collections of essays and lives in a log cabin in central Wisconsin.
