Throw Another Pebble on the Pile: One Woman's Leadership Journey in the Church - Paperback

by Michelle Felice (Author)

Should a woman be allowed to lead a church? From hushed conversations to national board rooms, this question is hotly debated in churches across North America.
Michelle Felice left her profession in the medical field, returned to school to attain a master's degree, and started a new career as a pastor. This fifteen-year journey took her from director of children's ministry to associate pastor and interim lead pastor. Then an unexpected series of events put her in a position that she had not anticipated-the opportunity to apply for the role of lead pastor.
Experienced. Personable. Trusted. Pastor Michelle possessed everything she needed to do the job, including twenty-three years of relationships built with the church members. It seemed natural to many people that her application would be encouraged, and she be considered a strong candidate . . . until someone read the fine print.
Throw Another Pebble on the Pile: One Woman's Leadership Journey in the Church is an empowering and thought-provoking book that will further the dialogue about this important question. It is a story that will create conversation concerning female leadership in the church, prompt critical thinking, and explore the roadblocks on the path to egalitarianism in the Christian church.
