I Wish Someone Had Told Me: Equity for Women in the Church, edited by the Rev. Dr. Alfie Wines, was released in December 2020. In this collection, clergywomen dig deep as they share their stories of the joys and challenges of being a woman in ministry with boldness and authenticity. The voices of clergymen and others who stand in solidarity and support of clergywomen can also be heard.
Words of hope and suggestions of possibilities for the future call on the church to implement policies and practices that will lead to equitable treatment of clergywomen everywhere. May the church, today and tomorrow, with enhanced equity for clergywomen, reflect all humanity as created in the image of the divine.
A weeklong “Meet the Authors” series kicked off the release of I Wish Someone Had Told Me: Equity for Women in the Church. Click on the links below to enjoy these conversations.
