Status and Role of Women
The General Commission on the Status and Role of Women advocates for full participation of women in the total life of The United Methodist Church. We’re helping the church recognize every person – clergy and lay, women and men, adults and children - as full and equal parts of God’s human family. We believe that a fully engaged and empowered membership is vital to The United Methodist Church’s mission "to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."

Lent is just around the corner, quite literally, it begins next week. For several nights now, I have lain awake wondering what this approaching season might be inviting me to see, name, or experience anew.
The first time I stayed the night with a friend who had a cat, I discovered that I am “very allergic” to pet dander. That’s how I described my allergy for a long time, with “very” covering the severity of my body’s reaction. It was not only irritation, but it also took great effort simply to breathe, a struggle to pull in enough air with each breath.
Inspired by The Integrity Project at Emory University, this curriculum was developed to encourage living in right relationship with self and others within the faith communities of our local United Methodist ministries. Participant Guide Leader Guide
