Welcome!

The European Society of Women in Theological Research (ESWTR) is a network of women involved in academic research in the areas of theology and religious studies. The Society hosts a European conference every two years to discuss relevant themes in feminist theology. Between conferences scholars meet at national or regional levels and continue to work together in subject groups. In the General Assemblies 2015 in Crete and 2017 in Vienna the ESWTR decided to stress the interreligious focus at all levels of its engagement. The ESWTR is the editing body of the annual Journal of the European Society of Women in Theological Research and of the ESWTR Studies in Religion.

Women and Prophecy

Mysticism as a transformative action in the world

imageneswtr2027avila_s_m_cano

From an open and engaged perspective in this conflict-ridden world, we seek to foster a dialogue between contemplation and action. To this end, we bring together mystics (mysticism understood as a transformative experience of encounter, wonder, and joy with the other) and prophets (prophecy as a proclaimed and confirmed word) of our time, as well as contemporary women, so that the past and present may help us face the challenges of the future. The aim is to reveal the keys that allow us to shape the pluralistic reality of our time in social spaces of coexistence, recognition, and inclusion.
The congress will take place in the exclusive setting of the University of Mysticism of Ávila CITeS – Mystic University, where accommodation is available.
The detailed program, registration link and call for applications will be published later on this website.
The conference will be given in Spanish, English, and German.
With this appeal, we request support and donations to organize this international congress with the utmost care and in a spirit of ecumenical and interreligious fraternity, as we have no other external funding. The names and logos of the collaborating institutions will be published in the program, on the association's international website, and on the social media channels of the Spanish Association of Theologians (Teología/Asociación de Teólogas Españolas) and other related platforms before, during, and after the congress.
We have included the account number for donations: Holder: Association of Theologians, Bank: TRIODOS BANK, IBAN: ES28 1491 0001 2021 2149 0821, please specify as purpose: AVILA 27.
