Stained Glass Ceiling Stained Glass Ceiling

Hannah, Kenya, and Ailin wrap up the season with an episode focused on facilitating healthy conversations. What might change and cooperation look like when you’re working closely with people who have different perspectives and priorities from your own? Featuring an interview Sebastian Rogers, executive director of Peripheral Vision PDX, which provides films and media training to under-served communities and organizations.

We’re working on finalizing the last episodes of this season. While there’s no new episode this week, we’re excited to return in a couple of weeks with more conversations exploring the importance of gender parity in faith contexts. See you soon!

This week, Ailin and Hannah catch up with Abby, military chaplain and former coworker, to explore some of the strategies often used in complementarian churches to empower women while maintaining a gender-hierarchical position. What are the benefits of these strategies, and what are the challenges?

What does it take to create and maintain an equitable work environment, and why does this seem to be particularly difficult in faith-based workplaces? Our guests Ruben & Jen Alvarado, specialists in the fields of pastoral ministry and human resources, share insights into the operational challenges particular to religious organizations, as well as ideas on how to overcome them.

This week, join Ailin, Hannah, and Kenya as they continue the conversation from last week about the consequences of speaking up as women in male-dominated settings. The three co-hosts share more stories about their own experiences with voicing concerns about sexism and prejudice in the church.

Stained Glass Ceiling is back for another season! Kicking things off, Ailin, Hannah, and guest host Kenya Feldes talk about the backlash women often face when attempting to advocate for themselves in gender-hierarchical environments.
