Welcome to the brand-new Visual Museum podcast series! Kelly Dippolito interviews Christine Calareso Bleecker, Director of the Visual Museum Podcast Series, to discuss the women that will be featured in this series which include female biblical figures but also female historical church leaders. She also provides an overview of the topics and art that will be discussed and why they are arranged the way they are. They also dive into how the Visual Museum website was created and how Christine became involved within this project.

Visual Museum of Women in Christianity

The purpose of this collaborative project is to create a curated, permanent visual exhibit of women in the history, ministry, and piety of early, Byzantine, and medieval Christianity that will be available online for researchers, educators, and interested laypersons.

The goal of this multi-year project is to make the visual record of women in ministry and leadership available free of charge and unencumbered by permission requirements; and to include short teaching elements to guide the audience through the constitutive and pivotal role of women throughout Christian history.

Together with the visual story, the accompanying narrative will make it possible for patrons to learn about women throughout history and across the globe, and their unique contributions to the life and faith of the church…

A history that remains mostly untold.
