Issues for Today

The Episcopal Women’s Caucus, committed to advancing the role and status of women in the church, continues today as the feminist* voice in the Episcopal Church, theologically, spiritually, and politically.

The Episcopal Women’s Caucus is at work today:

  • Challenging the church to face its historical complicity in the interlocking, systemic causes of sexual exploitation, oppression and violence;
  • Advocating for equal pay for work of equal value in the church and in the world;
  • Working for increased appointment or election of women to leadership roles, including the episcopate;
  • Provide support for the use and ongoing refinement of liturgical and biblical materials that expand our vision of God and include all of God’s people;
  • Work for inclusion of women and minorities in the church Calendar and Sunday lections;
  • Encourage familiarity and fluency with new forms of technology which will assist our causes.

*A feminist is anyone who believes that God created males and females equally human.
