Aims and purpose

• The CTI brings together women theologians of the various Christian traditions who have gained a post-graduate degree in a theological discipline, and teachers in theological faculties, in the theological schools of seminaries, in the religious congregations and in higher institutes of religious studies.

• With an ecumenical perspective, it puts to use and promotes gender studies in the fields of theology, scripture, patristics and history.

• It seeks to make women theologians more prominent in the Italian ecclesiastical and cultural landscape.

• It encourages and supports women who want to dedicate themselves to the study, research and teaching of theology.
