Women of Faith’s Contribution to Society: Role Models from History

The Rumi Forum organized an event on May 3rd, 2017 highlighting the experiences of women in the three Abrahamic faith traditions. The event featured a panel discussion followed by a question and answer session where audience members had the opportunity to direct questions towards any of the three panel members, Reverend Meg Peery McLaughlin, Riham Osman, and Rabbi Laura Rappaport, each one representing a different religion. Through this discussion, the panelists were able to highlight the diverse contributions of women in religion and bring nuance to the term “woman of faith” while stressing the need for unity among faith communities in order to help bridge societal divides.
