Abstract

This paper is based on the theological experience of women receiving and responding to a call to ministry in mid-life. It is grounded in Jungian psychology. The author's hypothesis was that the Christian understanding of 'call' can be related to a psychological 'redemption' of the structure Jung refers to as the 'animus' in women. Fourteen women were interviewed; their profiles and the author's are shared in the paper. Based on their stories, their struggles, and the outcomes, the conclusion is that there is a relationship between the theological experience of receiving a call and the redemption of the animus.
