The material is sketchy and at times inadequate, but the subject is of continuing interest. Other students of the Brethren past-even knowing some of the story firsthand-did not write it, apparently because their interests lay elsewhere. But the time has come to attempt a beginning at recovering the evidence and reconstructing the picture. And so, uneven and incomplete as it may be, this essay intends to introduce those women of the Brethren Church who have participated in the church's official ministry"engWith permission of the license/copyright holderWomenMinistryBrethrenChurchCommunity ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderChristian denominationsMethodistPractical theology and theological educationArticle
