Women in Ordained Ministry Conference
Called, Liberated, Ordained for service
21-22 October 2014
In 2014, the Diocese of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Anglican Church in Jamaica. One of the events to mark this occasion is the hosting of a two-day conference, “Women in Ordained Ministry: Called, Liberated, Ordained for Service”, from 21-22 October 2014. The conference is designed specifically for women serving in ministry as ordained and non-ordained professionals and will provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on the expectations and experience of women in ordained ministry over the past twenty years and also to focus on issues which impact the lives of women including health, time and stress management, retirement planning and daily intimacy with God.
The conference will be opened by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Howard Gregory, Bishop of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and there will be a special presentation by Rev. Dr. Yvette Noble-Bloomfield, Moderator of the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
