-
- Personal Journals
Dr. Carol Lynn Patterson has been practicing ministry for over 20 years. She has been in pastoral ministry for the last 15 where she served on the staff of a large church; she has been the transitional pastor of a small church, a regional pastor within the regional denomination of American Baptist churches, and she is currently the associate pastor of a church with 5,000 members.
Dr. Patterson offers insight into the reality of the intersectionality of race and gender for Black women in the Christian church, especially as it pertained to how it affected her experience becoming a licensed minister. She explains why ‘feminism’ has a history of excluding Black women and therefore why ‘womanism’ is a more inclusive term that centers women’s stories while ensuring the stories centered aren’t specific to only allow space for white women. She also talks about how so much church hurt, as valid as it may be, could be prevented by living out the hospitality as it is defined by the gospel.
