Streams Run Uphill: Conversations with young clergywomen of color

by Mihee Kim-Kort (Editor)

There is struggle in an uphill endeavor, but miracle in its very existence. There is something off-putting and hard to swallow about it, true, but also something undeniably compelling.
There’s a growing segment of "Other" clergywomen - - non-Anglo women of diverse cultures and ethnicities who serve in congregations that may or may not look like them, women with stories of struggle and triumph in their work and ministry.

In the candid book Streams Run Conversations with Young Clergywomen of Color , author writer, editor, and pastor Mihee Kim-Kort artfully brings together diverse narratives to encourage, educate, and equip clergywomen wrestling with identity, authority, and the uphill struggle against racism, sexism, ageism, and other ministry challenges.

Key
• Offers encouragement to women interested in ordained ministry, as well as congregations who are being led by clergy women of color
• Reminds readers of the promise of God and that even through the struggle, no one journeys alone
• An excellent resource for young women of color who are discerning ministry as their vocations as well as seminarians, professors, and clergy

To read the words of these women who are liv­ing out their call­ing in the face of enor­mous chal­lenges is simul­ta­ne­ously heart-wrenching and exhil­a­rat­ing. Here is the very Spirit of God mov­ing in the Church, seem­ingly against all odds. Here are streams run­ning uphill that we sim­ply can’t ignore...
