MIDWIVES OF A MOVEMENT SCREENING

Join us September 29 at 4:00 pm for a screening of the new feature documentary film Midwives of a Movement, created with Good Faith Media and Baptist Women in Ministry.

‍

Midwives of a Movement premiered on October 2, 2023 at Baptist Women in Ministry’s 40th Anniversary Annual Gathering in Louisville, KY.

‍

The feature documentary film chronicles the stories of the women who boldly birthed a movement to seek greater visibility and opportunities for women in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Despite great opposition, their courage blazed pathways for advancing women in ministry and leadership among Baptists. But challenging religious patriarchy, and specifically Baptist patriarchy, is not only a subject of the past. It is as relevant today as it was forty years ago.

‍

In this film, audiences today will find heartfelt stories, painful anecdotes, profound insights, and lighthearted remembrances which will inspire continued confrontation of patriarchy and advocacy efforts so that women find equality and equity among Baptists.

‍

The screening is in partnership with ALCBF and will be followed by a panel discussion with audience participation.
