Abingdon Women's Preaching Annual

Description

Introduction
For the past year, I have had the privilege of “living with” three extraordinary women of the nineteenth century. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Olympia Brown, and Anna Howard Shaw were three of the first women ordained to the ministry of Word and sacrament by Protestant denominations in nineteenth-century America. Their lives and work are the focus of a sabbatical project in which I am presently engaged. These three women are remarkable in many ways, not least being the determined way in which they pursued their God-given calls to ordained ministry at a time when the idea of women in ministry was, at best, controversial and, at worst, unthinkable.
By the mid–nineteenth century, however, women’s participation in a number of ecclesiastical roles had become commonplace. Women prayed, taught, testified, and even preached in “promiscuous” (i.e., comprised of men and women) religious gatherings. They were trained as religious educators and missionaries and sent to serve communities across the United States and across the world. They founded hospitals, schools, and reform organizations, all with the goal of serving God by serving those whom society had abandoned. With so many doors of the church opening to the gifts and service of women, it was inevitable by the second half of the nineteenth century that the ultimate church door, the door to ordained pastoral ministry, would open to them as well.
