Clew

Alice Mathews, distinguished professor of educational ministries and women’s ministries at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, spoke during Houghton College’s Christian Life Emphasis Week (CLEW), Sept. 3-6. Mathews is widely known for her participation in the daily Bible-teaching radio program “Discover the Word.” She is the author of four books, including A Woman God Can Lead.

Prior to teaching at Gordon-Conwell, Mathews spent more than a decade at Denver Seminary, where, in the 1980s, she established a comprehensive program for women’s studies. Subsequently she served as dean of the Philadelphia Center of the Seminary of the East.

CLEW is a time of strengthening and renewal as Houghton’s student body, faculty, staff and administration are drawn back to the purpose of equipping students to lead and labor as scholar-servants in a changing world.
