Why the 1956 women-clergy vote matters: Seventy years ago, the Methodist Church supported full conference membership for women clergy — a decision that would have a resounding impact when The United Methodist Church formed in 1968 and even today. https://www.umnews.org/en/news/why-the-1956-women-clergy-vote-matters

Seventy years ago, the Church recognized what God had already been doing, calling women to preach, teach, lead, and serve. In 1956, women were granted full clergy rights in The United Methodist Church, shaping the life of our communities ever since. 🩷

Today we give thanks for the faithful witness of clergywomen past and present and look ahead with hope for what is still to come.
