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!
