Challenging Tradition: Gender and Religious Leadership // 2023 Max Conference on Women's History

Recorded: March 5, 2023

Featuring: Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, Rabbi Jill Jacobs, Ret. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Dr. Ann Pellegrini (moderator)

Women’s ordination is only one piece of what constitutes women’s leadership in the world’s religions. Working within their traditions to make them more inclusive, women take on diverse leadership positions—from denominational leaders to biblical scholars to religious activists to spiritual teachers— that challenge gender norms and lead to greater diversity and commitment in their communities. The women on this panel will discuss their gendered experiences of religious leadership, how the focus on ordination obscures the many less visible forms of women’s leadership in religious communities, and the process of breaking the “stained glass ceiling.”

The eighth annual Diane and Adam E. Max Conference on Women’s History will explore how women and LGBTQ+ people have shaped and transformed not only their own faith but also the religious lives of their communities throughout our nation’s history.
