Called and Ordained: Albright-Deering Lectures in Methodist Studies

Celebrating 70 Years of Full Clergy Rights for Women in The United Methodist Church
In Person and Online
The lectures will explore the past, present, and future of women’s leadership in Methodist ministry. From the early pioneers who preached without permission to the complex realities faced by clergywomen today, the series traces how the Holy Spirit has moved—and continues to move—through the lives and leadership of women called to serve. Through historical analysis, theological reflection, and constructive visioning, these lectures invite the church and academy alike to consider how women’s ordination has shaped Methodist identity, and how it will continue to form the church’s witness in the decades ahead.
