Dear friends and colleagues,
The University of San Diego recently rescinded its invitation to Professor Rosemary Radford Ruether, Ph.D., to be the holder of the Monsignor John R. Portman Chair in Roman Catholic Theology for 2009-2010. We consider this a matter of serious concern with regard to academic freedom in Catholic institutions.
The Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual (WATER) and the
Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC) invite you to join us in expressing
our views by signing onto our letter to USD President Mary E. Lyons and
Vice President Julie Sullivan.
Please sign the letter by close of business on Friday, August 8, 2008
by clicking here or by emailing Erin Saiz Hanna. Please include the
name of your organization, affiliation, or university if applicable.
Thank you for taking action with us.
Cordially,
Mary E. Hunt Aisha Taylor,
Co-director Executive Director
