Women’s Leadership in the Church: Ongoing Challenges and Unspoken Joys
Monday, August 16 (4pm) to Wednesday, August 18 (1pm) at Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center (Farmington, MN)
A retreat for women clergy and women working on staff in churches, led by the Reverend Dr. Karoline Lewis. Based on her books, SHE: Five Keys to Unlock the Power of Ministry and EMBODY: Five Keys to Leading With Integrity, Karoline will guide participants in discussing the particular opportunities and obstacles faced by women church leaders. How can we navigate lingering sexism and patriarchy as we return to a new normal? How can we be replenished and empowered for ministry? This retreat will focus on theological issues and practical strategies to embolden authentic and embodied leadership in the church today.
