The vision for women must be: ‘Everything is Possible for Women” – no ceiling – no limit – but the open heart and the open heaven is the center of our aims.

Congratulations for the good idea of recording faces and names of women from all over the world who dared to say yes to God’s call to ordained or lay ministries.  This is a great way to make visible those who have been made invisible and silenced for so long.

Blessings!

I was ordained 1984 in the Baptist Union, Sweden.  It was never (or seldom) a special issue being female pastor in my denomination at my time – it was a good tradition in where we elected the first female church-leader (general secretary, bishop, what you call it) in the same year as my ordination, 1984.  2003-2011 I was the church leader, now general secretary for the Christian Council of Churches.  A good idea would be to give information to pastor seminaries about this network.  As time passed, I realized that even if it hadn’t been very special for me being ordained, that’s not the situation in other denominations or in other countries.  So even if I was ok, it was a matter for others, that means it a matter for me!  Good luck!

Hi, my name is Jason who is the person in charge of Madang.  I’m just an agent of exhibition, but I have the great impression from your booth, even I’m a man.  Still women are tortured and suffered by violence and discrimination in the world, and I know you’re doing such a great job for them, and I hope your job, you try can change the better.

It has been fantastic to meet Cynthia, Carol and the IAWM team who have created a space to connect women in ministry to each other and encourage women in their ministry.  God of Life – Calls Women in Ministry.  God of Life: lead us to Justice and Peace.

It is a joy to connect with your organization, and to see pictures of women ministers and leaders in the ecumenical circle. As we grow numerically, I pray that the God of Life lead us to justice and peace. I pray also that we can share our stories and experiences so that justice, peace and dignity of women and children who are well be heard.

A very meaningful project.  Solidarity of women who called to ministry are strengthened through this creative way!  Thanks!

It was an amazing experience to share in the WCC experience with other women who are already ordained or who will become ordained. What an honor to have my picture on the wall with the many other women.
