WOC is in Rome!
The Women’s Ordination Conference is in Rome throughout the month of October for the Synod on Synodality. Our witness is essential to ensure women’s voices, experiences, stories, and vocations are not erased or silenced in the synodal process. We will work for accountability to the grassroots, and be an uncompromising voice for equitable inclusion of women at every level of the church.
For additional information or media requests, please contact Executive Director Kate McElwee at kmcelwee@womensordination.org.

Supporters of women’s ordination from around the world gathered on the weekend of Oct. 6 to call on the church to walk with women as equals in the synodal process and beyond. Events took place in:

It is no exaggeration to say that this is difficult work.

With your support, we will continue to ensure the synodal tent is enlarged enough to include all voices, and model the spirit-filled church we need in this moment. DONATE NOW
