When you purchase a Red Shoes product, you support the work of the United Methodist Church's General Commission on the Status and Role of Women.

Seventy years ago, the UMC granted ordained women full clergy rights. In celebration of that milestone and in honor of the women who fought for that right and those who continue to accept God's call to the sacred vocation, I sketched these red shoes to create stickers to hand out at the Texas Annual Conference this month.

Upon sharing this online, women clergy across the UMC connection expressed interest in doing the same and in wearing the message! Almost overnight, the Red Shoe Sisterhood Collection was born.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the soles of my red shoes for supporting women in ministry!

From the website:

"The General Commission on the Status and Role of Women advocates for full participation of women in the total life of The United Methodist Church. We?re helping the church recognize every person ? clergy and lay, women and men, adults and children - as full and equal parts of God?s human family. We believe that a fully engaged and empowered membership is vital to The United Methodist Church?s mission "to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."
