What They Wrote: The CFT Online Book Club

What They Wrote was a monthly series of online discussions with presenters and authors associated with Christian Feminism Today or aligned with CFT’s mission. Events took place between 2022 and 2024.

The discussions were free and open to anyone, not just CFT members. While we encourged reading the book under discussion, it wasn’t required. The discussions were designed to engage and inform even when participants hadn’t read the book.

If you do fill out the form to be notified of future events, please be assured that we won’t use your email address for any other purpose or add it to our general email mailing list. We won’t share it with anyone either.
