Can women successfully pastor large membership churches? In 2006 at an international meeting of United Methodist clergywomen, this question was raised about how women were breaking gender stereotypes to serve in churches with 1,000 or more members. Two years later, the Lead Women Pastors Project was launched with 64 clergywomen by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. Breaking Through the Stained Glass Ceiling: Women Pastoring Large Churches emerged from the project which sought to affirm, empower, and nurture women who pastor large churches in the UMC and is a compilation of stories from some of the clergywomen participants.

Really liked hearing how other lead women pastors shared their stories and their advise. Would advise every woman pastor to read this

I loved the book, it will be used as a reference for my dissertation. But, I like to hold a book in my hands and personally highlight specific passages. A hard copy would be wonderful

Excellent, easy to read, to follow, apply and use as reference for everyday situations when leading a congregation. Very well focused on women clergy topics and interests. Serves as motivation and inspires further research and scholarship on the topics addressed.

The accounts presented here are very interesting and present a clear view of the challenges women still experience in pastoring larger churches. The variety of stories is good, though obviously some are more "dramatic" than others.
