This webinar is a round table discussion between the authors of the book, a facilitator, and the participants. The discussion will focus on the 2019 history, Doing the Word: Southern Baptists: Carver School of Church Social Work and Its Predecessors, 1907–1997 by T. Laine Scales and Melody Maxwell. Publisher UT Press explains the significance of the study, "the authors show how the institution both expanded women’s education and leadership and also came into tension with changes in the Southern Baptist Convention, ultimately resulting in its closing in 1997."
