Elective presented at the 2024 Priscilla & Aquila Centre conference.
Speaker: Clare Deeves.
We know we want men and women to work well together in churches, but we also know anecdotally that it sometimes goes wrong. What are the building blocks for positive working relationships? What can senior pastors do to foster them? Where should we start our conversations about making things work? Drawing on research into the experiences of women working with their senior pastors in complementarian churches in Australia, this elective explores the main ingredients in good working relationships and the most important things to avoid.
