Wants voices of younger women

Print Article

Thanks to Anna Groff for the article on women in ministry (“Women in Ministry Trajectories Continue,” April 15). As a young woman in ministry, it was helpful to read about the positive attitudes toward women in ministry while realizing there are still some growing edges that need attention.

One part that was missing for me were the voices of women who are in their 20s and 30s. The women mentioned in the article seemed to be well established in Mennonite Church USA. It would have been interesting—and perhaps would have made a more well-rounded article—to hear the perceptions of younger and newer women in ministry.
