Please join Friends General Conference in an important viewing and conversation about the new Academy Award winning film, Women Talking.

Women Talking tells a story it says is born of “wild female imagination” about a plain community of Mennonite women discerning together their response to horrific sexual violence against them and their children from within their own community.

What might happen after these women and children leave their community and what is the world’s obligation to them? What can Quakers learn from this film about how we are called to testify and witness to interpersonal violence within our own community? What role does discernment play in addressing power imbalances and how do power imbalances play a role in discernment?

Facilitated by Windy Cooler, convener of Life and Power: Quaker Discernment on Abuse and Stephanie Krehbiel, executive director of Into Account.
