We’re so happy you stopped by.
 
 
 
We're so glad you dropped by! The General Commission on the Status and Role of Women is the agency of the United Methodist Church that:

  • Advocates for full participation of women at all levels of church life.
  • Fosters women's leadership and mutual partnership with men.
  • Names and confronts institutional sexism within the church.
  • Trains church leaders to prevent and address sexual misconduct.

Our website is evolving with you in mind.  Here you'll find news about or work, training resources, community with others, connection with your local Commission, ideas for ministry, and Biblically based studies that reinforce the understanding that confronting sexism isn't just "politically correct," but it is also rooted in the teaching and ministry of Jesus Christ.

We welcome your feedback, ideas, questions, and personal stories, and support.  Join us on facebook or drop us a note.  Let's walk together in Spirit and in Truth!

Your sister in Christ,

 
M. Garlinda Burton, General Secretary
