Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling

Women Clergy in a Still-Patriarchal Church

About this book

Stop just surviving the "stained glass ceiling" and start building a church where every leader is celebrated. While the right to ordination was won decades ago, invisible patriarchal structures still force women clergy to portage around systemic obstacles just to exercise their call. It is heartbreaking to see gifted leaders leave the ministry or diminish their own voices because the institution remains stuck in the past. You do not have to accept this as "just the way things are." In Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling, Rev. Dr. Alina Gayeuski serves as your guide to move from survival to transformation. By naming the painful truths of sexism and sharing anonymized stories from across mainline Protestantism, she provides a roadmap to dismantle outdated barriers. Discover how to foster a feminist church—a community that operates from a place of abundance, values relationship over hierarchy, and ensures the next generation of leaders can flourish. Join the movement to create a sanctuary that finally reflects the full, beautiful diversity of the body of Christ.
