About

Women and men leading together in churches have both a long history as well as recent developments. While women have always been involved in churches, recognition of their leadership varies across history and denominations. Join us as we celebrate International Women's Day together by exploring what Women in Leadership looks like in two Canadian denominations that are researching the question.

These sessions were originally recorded in 2022
