Jesus called his disciples to lead as one who serves, saying of himself, “I am among you as one who serves.” Yet Jesus taught as one having authority, and gave authority to his disciples to do works in his name and to “bear fruit, fruit that will last.”
How best can ordained women—indeed all those called to ordained ministry—find balance in embodying the paradox of being a servant-leader, while bearing fruit in an authentic way? Please join us for a theologically inspired discussion in which we will explore this vital topic, its invitation and challenges, and as women, discern ways to express our individual clerical style of authority and service, right down to the clothes we wear.
Join us as we discuss:
• Women’s issues of balancing authority and servanthood at the altar, in church, in public
• Discovering and expressing one’s individual clerical style
• Best resources for women’s clergy-wear: from collars to blouses, dresses, albs, and chasubles
