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.
