Abstract

It is our belief that the injustices to which the female clergy in our Church are subjected every day of their lives will not only weaken the organized church, but could destroy it. The Church is of God and will never disappear, and it is because we believe this that we have conducted this project in the hope of bringing about change among those of us called Christian beginning with an annual conference of the United Methodist Church. The practicum was conducted over a 12-week period of time. Two groups, one made up of female clergy and one made up of male clergy, were recruited from an annual conference and asked to meet as consciousness-raising groups using the book Women's Growth in Connection. The emphasis of the groups was to focus on justice issues between male/female clergy using their own experience and calling forth their hopes for and commitment to change. We believe that our project did bring about significant change in the participants, who report that they are much more aware of the issues involved and can never go back to being the same people they were.
