Two Female Pastors

Being a female pastor in a challenging context.

In Poland and Lithuania alike, there is a strong and dominant Roman Catholic Church, and people’s perceptions of a pastor does not include being a woman, this off course also affects the perception in the United Methodist Church.

Jelena Kask, a deacon from Lithuania, and Monika Zuber, an elder from Poland, share their experience of being a female clergy in a context where almost all clergy are men.

 

ABOUT US

The Nordic and Baltic episcopal area covers 7 countries Denmark,Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. We speak 9 official languages and use English as a common language.

Bishop Christian Alsted gives oversight to pastors, deacons, local churches, schools, hospitals, seminaries and diaconal institutions in the area.

United Methodists hold to the historic doctrines of the Christian faith. We value the intellect and modern science, at the same time we see the Bible as the authoritative guide for faith and practice. Methodists recognize that the world is not always black and white. We are willing to ask questions and to wrestle with difficult issues, and we do so with grace and compassion.

Methodists emphasize personal faith, lived out in concrete ways in the world. We value well-informed and passionate preaching, worship that is lively, and small groups where people can grow in faith.
