The Power of She | Lisa Green | TEDxWilliamandMary

"Father," "King," "Lord" . . . many frequently-used names for God are male, but they're not the only ones. Here's how expanding the ways we talk about the divine can have powerful effects on humanity, free us from unhelpful hierarchies, and move us toward healing and justice. Lisa Green graduated from William and Mary in 1983 and worked in the publishing and nonprofit worlds before her ordination in 2008. She served churches in New Jersey and Massachusetts before returning to Williamsburg in 2017 as Associate Rector at St. Martin's Episcopal Church. She lives in Hampton with her husband Warren Hicks, also an Episcopal priest, and is the proud mother/stepmother of Mary Mitchell (W&M '2010) and Jonathan Hicks. Lisa is here to discuss how expanding the ways we talk about the divine can have powerful effects on humanity, free us from unhelpful hierarchies and move us toward healing and justice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
