This fall Deacon Geri and Father Chuck
are offering a class entitled Women in Ministry. The class will be
held at 11:30 a.m. in the rectory. You can get to the rectory either
by the front door or by the outdoor cloister and in through the rectory's
side door. Class will end at 12:15 p.m. so that parents can pick up
their children in Godly Play.
Women in Ministry will explore the roles women have had in the faith
community from Old Testament times, to the early and patristic church,
during the Middle Ages and reformation, in the nineteenth century,
and to the present day. We will pay particular attention to the deaconess
movement, an area of study for Deacon Geri, and the movement toward
the ordination of women in the Episcopal Church.
