| Description: |
Black clergywomen are pioneers of The United Methodist Church who continue to significantly contribute to making disciples and spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their stories are inspiring illustrations of the Holy Spirit at work in ordinary people who said yes to ordained ministry. They have endured many individual, institutional, and systemic acts of racism, sexism, and ageism while being subjected to economic discrimination. They often fight for equality of others in our society while being denied those same rights in the church. Their continuance exemplifies their commitment to be the embodiment of Christ-love to all people. In this book, women share their faith stories, path to ordination, ministry experiences in their appointments, and suggestions for annual conference leaders. STORIES: Bishop Linda Lee, Rev. Dr. Josephine Ann Whitely-Fields, Rev. Dr. Tara Renee Sutton, Bishop Tracy S. Malone, Rev. Cheryl Jefferson Bell, Bishop Sharma Denise Lewis, Rev. Edna Mae Morgan, Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi, Rev. Ella H. DeDeaux. Larger than average print. *2023 UWF Reading Program: Leadership Development |
