Pacific, Asian, and North American Asian Women in Theology and Ministry


Welcome to the PANAAWTM website!

PANAAWTM brings together Pacific, Asian, and North American Asian women who are interested in theology and ministry. Our goals are:

  • To facilitate the development of theologies in our own voices;
  • To provide a group in which we are able to support one another and exchange ideas;
  • To support our ministry and leadership in our churches, our educational institutions, and the larger society;
  • To increase our contribution to the development of Third World and other liberation theologies;
  • To participate actively in the feminist theological conversations in the United States and Canada.
