Midwives Of A Movement: A Story Of Challenging Baptist Patriarchy
March 23 at 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
On the eve of the SBC’s final vote for a constitutional amendment to disfellowship churches where women serve as pastors of all kinds, Baptist Women In Ministry
released the documentary, Midwives of a Movement which chronicles the stories of the women who boldly birthed a movement to seek greater visibility and opportunities for women in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite great opposition, their courage blazed pathways for advancing women in ministry and leadership among Baptists over the last 40+ years.
During a time when women in ministry among Baptists are hearing negativity
surrounding their call and service to God, BWIM has joined in solidarity with all women who serve among Baptists to share a positive message of affirmation and hope. One that proudly demonstrates that when women are pushed down and marginalized, they always rise up!
You all have done something big here, something powerful and profoundly Spirit-infused. . .It was so impactful and beautiful for me to glimpse this part of the process of shifting congregational culture.
You are invited to participate in the screening of this powerful documentary on Sunday, March 23, 4:00-6:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. Carolyn Blevins and Nenette Measels will host a time for Q & A following the viewing. Snacks will be served.
