Greetings Cal-Pac Clergywomen!
We look forward to seeing you at Annual Conference in just a few weeks as we celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Women’s Ordination in the Methodist Tradition!
As part of this celebration, we will be presenting during the first plenary, participating in Praise & Worship, and will have lots of merch! Please check out the Commission on the Status and Role of Women (COSROW) table on Wednesday and grab a shirt and other goodies. (We are asking for a $25 donation to cover the cost of the shirts if you’re able.)
At the table, we will also have a set up for you to record a video about your experience as a clergywoman, resources for celebrating this anniversary in your local churches, sign-ups for future studies on using inclusive language in worship, and more!
Wear your shirts on Thursday and join us after the Thursday afternoon plenary, around 4:30pm, outside the Plenary meeting space (Flores Ballroom) for a photo.
This is an important milestone for us as Methodists, both to celebrate how far we’ve come and to remind us how far we still have to go. We hope this celebration will be encouraging and empowering as we continue working toward the full and equal participation and dignity of women in the church.
Thank you for your work. See you soon!
Rev. Stephanie Rice and Ellen Evans Agee,
Cal-Pac COSROW Co-Chairs
