Reverend Carol Cavaness has made history as the first female pastor of Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Expressing her excitement, Cavaness acknowledged the unexpected realization of her role in this generation. She highlighted the longstanding disparity in female leadership within the church, questioning the existing gender imbalance among senior pastors. Her appointment is seen as a collective victory for women in ministry, stating that this achievement goes beyond personal milestones, emphasizing the importance of equality and representation in church leadership.
"Wow. This is what this feels like. I'm living history," says, Cavaness.
"When we look at the leadership strata, women being senior pastors, we're all behind the numbers of men."
"What would it take to at least get 50/50?"
"This moment is just not about me. This is a win for all of us," she said.
