        • Responsible Servants: Mina, Reham
        • Many people use the argument now of "it's not hurting you"

        • Idea
          • This station can be presented as a "Advocacymuseum" foror women'sa rights" and yet it has devolved to oppressing women...
          • They want men who call themselves women to use girls bathrooms, to play in girls' and women's sports, etc.
          • They want abortion and argue"showroom" that itincludes isseveral aarchaeological fundamentalfindings rightthat andsupport theydetails can't function without it
        • Importance of studying the topic of Feminism for Boys and for Girls
        • Outline of the day

      • Station 1: Does it fight for women's rights?
        • Responsible Servants: Lisa, Mark, Mina
        • God made man and woman
        • The role and equality of man and woman designed by Godwritten in the church
        • Priesthood only for men?! Deaconship only for men?!?!?
          • The apostles would go to St. Mary for prayers and blessings, but St. Mary would go to them for Eucharist. I feel that if the servants and the youth have this concept clear in their minds, it's a good door for the rest of the topic
          • And this is the equality God has for us. And equality doesn't delete the fact that women has a roleScripture, as well as men.some Noexamples personof on earth was/is greater than St. Mary, but she was never a priest, never administered any sacraments. The apostles also know and appreciate St. Mary so much that they would go for her opinion/blessings/prayers. St. John never left Jerusalem until her body's assumption.
          • God picked men to be the apostles, but also the women to anointed his body.
            But He also picked EVERYONE to be His disciple (you mentioned this part)manuscripts
        • Similarities and differences in men and women

      • Station 2: Does it fulfill God's will?
        • Responsible Servants: Morcous, Mirolla, Andrew
        • Feminism is the advocacy of women, and God's will is for the equality of men and women... so is feminism fulfilling God's will?
        • This station should focus on the topic of Abortion
        • Some believe that abortion is fundamental to the functioning of a woman... (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZYQpge1W5s 12:00 "I think abortion rights are fundamental to women being able to function as full humans in society") and they call this feminism
        • Some people ask why do we let a person live without a father? abortion is a solution for this. Why would someone that got raped live with a baby that she didn't want? abortion is a solution
          The real answer for these is that God has a plan (even if it seems unclear)

      • Station 3: Is it fair to everyone?
        • Responsible Servants: Rafeek, Maivel, Maria
        • Historically, Christianity was the first institution in the world to be openly for women and liberating to women...
          • Jesus accepted women to be His disciples, they had a very specific ministry (i.e. Luke 8) in providing financial support, meals, etc. He appeared to them first after His Resurrection
          • Christianity was open about accepting women and this attracted many women to join the faith in the Early Church
          • "There is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28)
        • The feminist movement disregards all of this and calls the Church unfair to women and oppressive to women
        • The feminist movement is unfair in its judgmental attitude towards the church
