Women have always played pivotal leadership roles in serving the mission of the Church. The New Testament provides ample evidence of this important reality. Women depicted in the art of early church structures also support this historical fact. Since the First Council of Nicaea through the 12th century, there are depictions of women preaching, women marked as clergy, and even one carrying a Communion chalice. In this episode, Lynn Cohick talks with Dr. Sandra Glahn about her discoveries and the work she is doing to make this history more accessible to church leaders.
