The Inaugural St. Margaret's Lecture, featuring author Nora Gallagher,
will be held on Friday, October 15, 2004, at the Church Divinity School
of the Pacific (CDSP). The lecture is the first in a periodic series
supporting the St. Margaret's Chair for Women and Ministry. Gallagher
will speak on "Practicing Resurrection," which is also the title of her
most recent book.
In Practicing Resurrection, Gallagher writes, "The life of faith was
amorphous, ephemeral, a glimpse, a moment. Trusting it was like my
early swimming lessons in learning how to float." Gallagher's memoirs
share her reflections on life, ministry, and spiritual journeys.
She has reported for Time and Life magazines, and her articles and
essays have appeared in the New York Times Magazine, the Los Angeles
Times Magazine, The Village Voice, Mother Jones, and the Utne Reader. A
member of Trinity Episcopal Church, Gallagher lives in Santa Barbara
with her husband, the novelist, Vincent Stanley.
One of the goals of CDSP's Capital Campaign, "Preserving
Tradition—Building the Future," is to raise funds to establish the St.
Margaret's Chair for Women and Ministry. This Chair will be the first
faculty position of its kind in an Episcopal seminary or the Graduate
Theological Union.
Registration for the lecture at CDSP will begin at 11:00 a.m., on
Friday, Oct. 15, with lunch at 11:30 a.m., followed by the lecture and
a book signing by Gallagher. The cost for lunch is $15 per person, and
space is limited. The public is asked to make reservations early by
contacting Sabeth Fitzgibbons (

Margaret's lecture series at CDSP is sponsored by Every Voice Network,
publishers of the new via media curriculum.
