Prof Abraham is the first woman as well as the first lay Catholic president of the editorial board of Conciliumthe oldest Theological Journal in the Catholic Church founded in 1965. She is also the vice president of Academic Affairs and the dean of faculty at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. She shares her passion for Theology and how she uses her knowledge and research to empower women globally. Prof Abraham is one of the delegates at the forthcoming Second Pan-African Theological and Pastoral conference in Nairobi and will preside at the first Concilium International Assembly to be held in Africa. She will be speaking on Africa’s encounter with modernity and the possibility of an “Afro-futurism” - the idea of looking at what the future of the Church and the world will look like from an African perspective. She thinks that the Nairobi conference is important because it shows how the experiences and work of a particular church can speak to the universal. It is her hope and prayer that Africa will breathe life into the world again.
