The Centre for Baptist Studies in conjunction with Baptists Together are organising this online Symposium, to which we are inviting academically-engaged Baptist women from around the world to discuss the findings of Project Violet and the actions arising from this extensive investigation into women’s experiences of ministry.

There will be three 2-hour sessions each day; 8am to 10am, 2pm to 4pm and 7pm to 9pm. All times are GMT, please check how these work for attending from your time-zone.

We don’t want cost to be a barrier to attending so please contact the conference organizer if cost is a concern as we have some bursaries available.

Building on the experience of Project Violet we are making this a woman-only space in order to encourage women's participation.
