Women and the Church: More Recent Contributions

A guide highlighting resources on women's historical and current contributions to the Church, as well as the various viewpoints on what those roles should be. This includes resources exploring the Pauline texts associated with this topic.

A Small Sampling

This is a sampling of resources by, and telling the stories of, 20th and 21st Century women who have contributed to the Church. Prairie College has its own list of women who have contributed to the college and the church body as a whole. Some of these are highlighted in this 2022 Prairie College chapel, "Women of Influence at Prairie." We encourage you to check out resources in our Biography and Missions Archive collections to find stories specifically highlighting Prairie College staff & alumni. Look for a note in the record or a Prairie crest sticker on the spine. Resources here are listed alphabetically by title.
