The Pastor Wears a Skirt

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The vignettes in this book capture the personal experiences of one of the first women to serve as a lead pastor in the Mennonite church. They are enlightening on multiple levels—describing this woman’s clear call to ministry, as a first-person account of the church’s struggle in coming to terms with women in leadership roles, and for the many real-life examples of the joys, challenges, and impacts of the pastoral vocation. Engaging reading. Highly recommended!”
