episode 156: Women in Church Leadership - Home Is Where The Pulpit Is
To begin, each of the co-hosts speaks to their experiences of women in church leadership. You might be surprised. Then questions surface like -- should we be gender-izing leadership? Aren’t we over the gender binary thing? Bonnie shares her own difficult journey toward claiming pastor-hood.
This episode holds an open-hearted conversation in which mistakes are made and forgiven. You’ll hear men own up to male privilege and brainstorm ways to detox masculinity. You’ll also hear Allen (and the other co-hosts, but especially Allen) get excited about the bible as the conversation turns to Christianity’s potential for disrupting Patriarchy’s stronghold on societal systems. A busted-up Patriarchy is all we really want for Christmas.
In case you still have gifts to buy, the episode ends with a game of Craigslist Price is Right. The lovely items are listed in the show notes; though you’ll probably get more “Ahhh, thanks. I love it.” from Irenicast merch.
