Description

Journey Without Map presents the life and work of Anne Thomas Neil as told through her sermons and presentations. Her story is filled with wisdom gained from eeting the challenge of crossing cultural boundaries and opposing human oppression with courage and freedom. Anne and her husband, Lloyd, served for 26 years in Nigeria and Ghana, West Africa as Southern Baptist Missionaries. When they returned to live in North Carolina in 1981, Anne became active in pastoral education and in advocacy efforts for social justice as well as women in ministry during the 1980s and 1990s. She was instrumental in the formation of groups such as Baptist Women in Ministry, The Alliance of Baptists, The Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond, the Duke Divinty School - Baptist House of Studies, and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. The primary theme of Anne's words is that God calls Christians to relationships of equality and justice. Her prophetic voice has repeatedly called the church to its tru mission among the harrassed and helpless of the world.
