673 | Cuppa Joe | Historic Sites Fall Lecture Series | Becoming More AWARE: RLDS Feminist Activism in the 1970s

It’s never too early or too late to stand up for what’s right... or to stand against what’s wrong. Though it took revelation from Wallace B. Smith to make the necessary change, women, and their advocates, started fighting for equality in the church for many years before that revelation arrived. Thanks to the work of grassroots groups like AWARE, the clarion call for equality and justice was heard around the church.  Join Cuppa Joe host Karin Peter, for an engaging conversation with Historic Sites Foundation lecturers Nancy Ross and David Howlett. Here, you’ll get just a taste of what is available in the full lecture. View Nancy and David’s lecture, here. If you have stories about the women’s ordination or the struggle to get there, please share those with David ([email protected]) and Nancy ([email protected]).  Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
