dc.description.abstractWomen are in the minority in church leadership, and historically, ministry has been a male-dominated field. Women working in ministry may have the support of other church leaders, but may face congregational pushback or be constrained to supporting roles in ministry. For a woman to work in ministry, she has to be prepared to face questions or pushback only because of her gender. I will look at gendered socialization and the conscious and unconscious prejudices that mothers in ministry face. I will analyze and examine the differences between the experiences of working mothers and working fathers.. I will implement solutions based on stories(in books, articles, and my conversation extension) of women who felt called to both ministry and motherhood. I will advocate for them by exploring ways in which women can be encouraged as both parents and pastors. I will explore practical ways that Christians can support women stepping into ministry and caretaking without burning out or having to choose between the two.en_US
