In the organizer's words:
100 years ago, the first World Conference on Practical Christianity took place in Stockholm. It was a milestone for the ecumenical movement seeking justice and peace. More than 600 delegates from 37 countries took part, including 70 women. Why do we hardly know their names and their concerns? Carola Barth, Paula Müller-Otfried, Margarete Behm... Who are the women who came from Germany? And who is Lucy Gardner? Where do her concerns appear today? How will the 2025 anniversary be celebrated in Stockholm?
Ursula Thomé has taken up the search for traces of these women and their contribution to the history of ecumenism, researched various sources and presents brief portraits of some of the women. As a participant in the week of celebrations in Stockholm 2025, she reports on the presence of women today and on her encounter with Maria Södling, a Swedish theologian who worked on the HER story of the world conference.
