The Baptist Women in Ministry of North Carolina held its annual Symposium on September 12, 2024 at Watts Street Baptist Church in Durham, N.C. This is the church where Addie Davis was ordained in 1964, the first time a Southern Baptist congregation had ordained a woman to pastoral ministry. How appropriate that I had celebrated the anniversary of my own ordination just earlier that week on September 9, 2007. I am so grateful and humbled by that significant anniversary. But I am more grateful and humbled that God would choose me and place within me a calling and a purpose to pursue ministry, even a path to see that come to fruition. What a gift!
