History
In 2015 there was an initial meeting of representatives from Whitley, Trinity, JTC (then), Pilgrim, Stirling, and CTC – all colleges of the University of Divinity (UD) – to assess the interest in formal, feminist, theological engagement within the context of the UD. In 2016, members informally organized guest lectures from Sarah Coakley and Gene Robinson when they were visiting Melbourne. During this time, there were regular meetings of interested parties. The decision was made early on to call this group “Australian Collaborators in Feminist Theologies” to establish that there was a wide variety of disciplines, perspectives, denominations, and theological practices present. Collaboration has been a fundamental mode of operation that reflects the network’s feminist beginnings and ideals.
