Summary:
Thirty years after the first group of women was ordained by the
Episcopal Church, women are among some of the most vital and
successful ministers in all Protestant denominations, even as
churches struggle to hold on to their members. Sarah Sentilles enters
the lives of female ministers—women of various ages and races, in a
range of churches—to paint the first real portrait of what it’s like
to serve as a woman of faith today. Sometimes triumphant, sometimes
hilarious, sometimes painful, their stories take us from their calls
to the pulpit through their ordinations and service in congregations.
These women show us how the church can be more welcoming to the women
who are its lifeblood. And in their inspiring determination to
perform the ministry to which they are called, no matter what the
obstacles, we might well see the future of the church itself.
