3-09 Women's Leadership in the Catholic Church: Oxymoron? Token? Reality?
Dr. Carolyn Woo
Leadership in the Catholic Church is often identified with sacramental ministry, so it is widely perceived that women have no influence in the Church. Carolyn Woo examines this perception and offers the myths and reality on women's leadership in Catholic Ministries. She names critical capacities needed and the challenges women often face in their leadership journeys. Drawing on her faith, scholarship, and leadership experiences across diverse sectors, she holds a mirror to the current situation and presents a balanced overview with humor and insights.
