May She Flourish (part 4 of 6) -
Panelists: The Rev. Dr. Karoline Lewis & The Rev. Meredith Crigler
Women’s representation among the ranks of mainline clergy has significantly increased in recent decades. However, research shows that their gender—especially as manifested by their body—is still perceived as a somewhat awkward “fit” with a role traditionally associated with men. The webinar, that was live on 2/2/22, explores the subtle but persisting impact of commonly held views that certain bodies are naturally entitled to certain spaces while others are not. Using contemporary clergywomen’s testimonies, we discuss how women’s bodies are often used to undermine their function and how female clergy are using their physicality to spark more creative and inclusive understandings of a minister’s role.
