Women in the Bible: 19-21 October 2004, Jaffna, Sri Lanka

This workshop was organised in response to a special request by Rev Malini Devananda to do bible studies from the feminist perspective with a group of Tamil-speaking churchwomen who have little access to such resources and facilities after having emerged from a 20-year civil war.  With the help of 2 translators, Monica Melanchthon and Yong Ting Jin facilitated the bible studies on Matthew 15:21-28, II Samuel 20:14-22, Mary Magdalene and Judges 19
