The True Woman Manifesto is a document that was first presented at the True Woman conference in Chicago in October 2008.
The organizers of the conference describe True Woman as a movement. In addition to the conference, the movement includes books, articles, a 30 day True Woman Make-Over, other resource material and the manifesto.
There is a three part process that women are invited to participate in when they join the movement. 1) Sign the True Woman Manifesto; 2) Start the 30 Day True Woman Make-over; and 3) Share the message.
I think you will be hearing a lot about this movement soon. Women’s roles is a very hot topic in the church right now and I think we will be seeing a lot of activity on both sides of the issue in the near future.
Whatever side you find yourself on I encourage you to study both sides of the issue. This is an important issue that deserves a lot of discernment and wisdom. My fear is that women will sign the document or join the movement blindly.
There is a good discussion about the True Woman Manifesto at the blog Evolving In Monkeytown and a thorough three part response to the manifesto at Hevencense.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for stopping by – your three part series that I mention in my post has been very helpful and informative
“Reading the fine print” may take a little more time and attention, but it’s the *details* that often matter most.
