About the Event

Some Sundays expand your imagination. Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney is a widely sought-after biblical scholar, preacher, teacher, and activist whose work brings scripture to life for congregations and lay readers—especially through womanist and feminist interpretation and a deep focus on the voices of women in ancient texts.

Dr. Gafney is the Right Rev. Sam B. Hulsey Professor of Hebrew Bible at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas, and the author of A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church (Years A, B, and C) as well as Womanist Midrash (and more). She is also an Episcopal priest, a former Army chaplain, and has taught and preached across Jewish and Christian congregational spaces in the U.S. and the U.K.

In the morning, Dr. Gafney will be our guest speaker at the 10:00 AM service at All Souls. Note: Dr. Gafney will speak at the 10:00 AM service only. Rev. Randy Lewis will lead the 11:30 AM service.

Then, if you want to go deeper, Dr. Gafney is also the 2026 invited guest for the Knippa Interfaith / Ecumenical Lecture Series, speaking that afternoon at 4:00 PM at Grace Lutheran Church.
