Calling It Out: Gender

In the last ten years we have elected 84 Bishops, 12 have been women. That is 14%. Young female clergy still earn less than their male counterparts. You can still hear, “Well our next rector, He should be…” Outside of the Church structures, women currently hold 4.8% of CEO positions in S&P 500 companies. One in five women on college campuses will have been sexually assaulted. But, there are those who still say “We don’t need anti-sexism training. Look, we had a female Presiding Bishop.”
