- **Event Description**: Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling
Women Clergy in a Still-Patriarchal Church
In 'Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling: Clergy Women in a Still-Patriarchal Church', Rev. Dr. Alina Gayeuski lifts the veil on a long-ignored reality: though women have been ordained in many Protestant denominations for decades, they continue to face deep structural barriers within church leadership. Through intimate stories, theological reflection, and feminist critique, Gayeuski names the “benevolent patriarchy” that masks ongoing exclusion, challenges the status quo, and imagines a church where all can flourish.
