Choose leadership, consider challenges, panelists tell ordained women
By Mary Frances Schjonberg
[ENS, KANUGA] -- How women choose to lead and the implications of making that choice was the subject of an October 4 discussion at the "Imagine: Claiming & Empowering Ordained Women's Leadership" conference.
The conference is the first church-wide gathering of ordained women in the 32 years since women were admitted to the orders of priest and bishop. The conference, which also includes some lay presenters, runs until October 6 at the Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Presenters at the session, all ordained women, included Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) dean and president Martha Horne, Utah Bishop Carolyn Tanner Irish, Atlanta-based Emmaus House director and vicar Claiborne Jones, and New York Bishop Suffragan Catherine Roskam. The panel was moderated by Lynne Grifo, associate coordinator of the Episcopal Church's Office of Ministry Development.
