The Christa Project: Seeking the Risen Christa – Lecture and Discussion with Dr. Nicola Slee
The School 
of Theology Dean’s Office and The Center for Practical Theology invite you to a lecture and discussion with Dr. Nicola Slee on the topic of “The Christa Project: Seeking the Risen Christa. The event will be held on Thursday, February 16th from 4-5:20pm in Room 325 at Boston University School of Theology. Dr. Slee is Director of Research at the Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education in Birmingham, UK. Here is a brief introduction to her book, Seeking the Risen Christa, and the aims of The Christa Project:
“The figure of the feminine side of Christ is widely present in art and in feminist theology, but the risen Christa has not so far been explored. In this ground-breaking book, Nicola Slee, writing in a mixture of reflection, poetry and images, revisits many of the central narratives of the gospels and key Christological themes, re-imagining them through the eyes and voice of the Christa, offering original and creative perspectives as a resource for theology and spirituality. This book is in quest of a risen Christa who invites women and men to leave behind a clinging, dependent relationship with God and to discover a wider, freer Christ.”
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Slee and look forward to this opportunity to learn more about this important research. Please contact cpt@bu.edu with any questions.
