Hi, and welcome to Call and Response. I am Juliet San Nicolas de Bradley, and I am a deacon preparing for the priesthood in the Anglican Church of North America. When I was in my discernment process, I looked for resources about women and their journeys to holy orders, and I could not find many. That same spring, I went to a clergy retreat, where all the clergy women had a chance to sit together and share their stories. That moment changed me at a cellular level, and I knew I wanted to make a storytelling project where we could share our journeys to holy orders. This is the fruition of that moment. For safety and security reasons, only the first names of the women are listed. If you are interested in joining this project or connecting with a clergywomen, please email ourcallandresponse@gmail.com or see the contact page.
My prayer is that this project helps us all see a fuller vision of Christ and Christ's church.
