Jeanette Rodriguez, PhD, professor of theology and religious studies and ICTC director, and Sharon Callahan, EdD, professor emerita in the School of Theology and Ministry, present on their research “Gospel Leadership Among Roman Catholic Women.”  

This presentation considers the priestly leadership some women offer their faith, local and institutional communities. Grounded in deep spirituality, the more than 40 women interviewed and studied evidence the four ministries valued by the early church: Kerygma, Koinonia, Diakonia and Leiturgia. In addition, the women demonstrated new ecclesiologies offering ecumenical and prophetic contributions to the institutional church and the people of God.
