The Young Clergywomen Project is pleased to present a preaching conference to be held this summer, August 6-10, at The Cathedral College (College of Preachers) in Washington, DC. The conference is entitled Preaching As Testimony: A Conference for Women Preachers
under the Age of Forty. The keynote speaker is Anna Carter Florence. Several RevGals have been involved in the planning of this conference.
The generosity of the Louisville Institute has made itpossible to offer substantial scholarships for women who would not otherwise be able to attend. The scholarships are primarily for those
that are ordained (or serving pastorally in denominations that don't ordain due to gender or sexual orientation) and who are 35 and under, although if funds remain after serving the target group, others may apply.
For more information about the conference, (or to register!) check out the Cathedral College Conference page.
For more information about the scholarships, contact youngclergywomen@gmail.com
We hope to see many younger RevGals there!

sigh.. the times i wish i wasn't a wannabe revgal...
ReplyDeleteJust when I finally turn "old" the church begins to support the younger clergy! I'm glad for the support and jealous too
ReplyDeleteWish I could go too.
ReplyDeleteI loved those young whipper-snapper ("Is she old enough to be a pastor?" days)
Age discrimination! ... Just kidding. But I share sentiments of V of H and jle ...
ReplyDeleteJUST when I was looking for my walker... I read the age limit.
ReplyDeletelol!
Thanks Susan for posting the news,
Whoohoo! I'm sick of being the youngest one at EVERY meeting, class, convoction, etc... Perhaps I shall have to inquire about the scholarships, cause um 750 clams is a lot of money...
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't the last week of my internship, I would sooo be there ...
ReplyDeleteThe times I wish I was younger. I hope you younger women go and then let us know how it went and what you learned.
ReplyDeleteI am beyond excited about this, and about the...umm, attention isn't the right word, but kind of is...that young clergy women are receiving. sometimes i feel pretty alone out here. but that could be because not only am I the youngest clergyperson in my presbytery by 9 years, I'm also one of maybe 8 women in our geographically large presbytery. so an opportunity like this is truly fantastic. thanks!
ReplyDeleteFriends, it would really truly be fabulous if those of you that aren't eligible to go or able to go could help me out by send this url to any young ordained (or ineligible due to gender or sexual orientation) women that you know. It would be a great way to let those women know that you notice them and support them!

ReplyDeleteOooooh! I'm going to try to do this. Thanks Susan!
ReplyDeleteHehe, nice to be in the officially "young" category - though it's a shame I'm in the wrong country! :D
