It could be conducted over five to six weeks or as a weekend retreat. This resource is for each participant: • to gain understanding of her own gifts and bold purpose, • to learn from other bold examples, • to develop a plan to live out her bold, and • to share in community and celebrate the boldness of each individual.

50/40/10 Years On: a Half Century of Ordaining Lutheran Women- The fiftieth anniversary, in 2020, of the decision by some American Lutherans to ordain women coincides with the fortieth of ordinations of women of color, and the tenth since barriers to lesbian women’s ordination were removed. Those anniversaries were the stimulus for this project which narrates the debate and decision in 1970 and presents the effects for the churches and women’s experiences, placing those in the contexts of American culture and world Lutheranism and providing resources for further exploration by users.
