Book excerpt: The reality of a stained glass ceiling is familiar to most women called to the pastorate. Despite being more likely to be seminary educated, female clergy constitute less than 10 percent of Protestant leading pastorates and those who do hold such pastorates are generally paid less than their male counterparts. In light of such statistics, Pastor Chris Smith explores how to overcome the challenges in breaking through the stained glass ceiling and she goes a step further. She shares the lessons learned and best practices of the success stories those women who are currently serving in solo or senior pastorates. Based on a national survey of female clergy, this volume is rich in insights based on data as well as personal anecdotes insights that will empower not only women called to the pastorate but also their male colleagues and denominational leaders who want to support them.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Stained-Glass Window by : Neville Hodgson

Download or read book Beyond the Stained-Glass Window written by Neville Hodgson. This book was released on 2013-07-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about one man’s journey to find himself and his place in the world, both spiritually and career-wise, and how his conventional views of the world, encompassing orthodox religion and old conforming and traditional ways, were radically changed by some extraordinary events during early education, travel, a career-switch to clinical psychology, and a powerful dream that led to a profound spiritual awakening. He worked in mental hospitals during the apartheid era and at the time of the un-banning of the ANC, and later began a private practice. The book has some historical value since the author’s grandfather was a great friend of General Smuts and was the Mayor of Benoni, a South African gold-mining town, during the turbulent wild-strike days of 1922, when his grandfather’s house was burned down by white strikers. The author’s mother attended the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and sat near Adolf Hitler during the swimming events.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling by : Alina Sara Gayeuski

Download or read book Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling written by Alina Sara Gayeuski. This book was released on 2024. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970s and 1980s brought significant changes in mainline Protestant denominations in the United States - namely, changes regarding women’s right to ordination. Yet, despite more than half-century since those changes began, the representation of women in the clergy of these denominations remains relatively low and the challenges faced by women clergy to live out their calls are unceasing. This is because the changes to the church never included changing the patriarchal structures on which the church, like all systems, have been built. This project explores the ways that women clergy have been forced to navigate around these oppressions, the messaging they have been given, and what happens when they are inevitably restricted by their identity. As this project will show, the way forward that will be a source of true liberation for all of God’s people means deconstructing these oppressions and building a truly feminist church.
