The Phyllis Trible Lecture Series - Feminism: Then, Now, and Not Yet - Tuesday, March 5 - Wednesday, March 6 - Wait Chapel | In its eleven years of bringing internationally renowned feminist scholars to the Wake Forest University campus, the Phyllis Trible lecture series has had a profound and lasting impact on this community. This series has stimulated and challenged hundreds of attendees over the last decade to reflect on the contributions of feminist thought and theology and to recognize the unfinished work that still lies ahead. As the 2013 lectures will conclude the Phyllis Trible series at Wake Forest University, its theme, "Feminism: Then, Now, and Not Yet," perfectly summarizes the values and hopes of the series.

Green Team News
from Susan Robinson, Divinity Green Team Captain
 The topic for this the Green Team Quarterly Meeting was Consumer Culture. The meeting started withthe question, if you were given a $5,000 gift card where would you want to use it? Many answers were big box stores in our area. But, little of the money you spend in these stores stays locally. And, if you are using money just to shop, what would you be buying? How much of what you buy is just stuff and not essentials, like food & clothing?
What came out of the discussion was the idea of how much stuff do we need and how much stuff can we "share" with others. Two interesting websites are worth looking at and thinking about how we can use sharing in our daily work lives, with either sharing supplies (surplus) or sharing work skill, as two examples.
Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in traditional sharing, bartering,
lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping reinvented through network technologies on a
scale and in ways never possible before.
It's one of the first things we learn as kids: How to share. But this practice usually fades as we become adults. Our houses become filled with our own "stuff." Garages, attics, basements,
and closets transform into cluttered warehouses. When we need something, whether it's a
chainsaw or a roasting rack, our first thought is to go out and buy it. But why get it new when
our neighbor down the street has one we can borrow?
