Rooted in the Same Soil: Flourishing as a Non-Hierarchical Woman in a Hierarchical Church

Track: Biblical Equality in Action

For women whose understanding of gender-based roles and leadership has shifted while their church remains committed to a complementarian framework, this conversation explores how to remain rooted in the local church.
