As we look back on the highlights of 2024, we celebrate Union Presbyterian Seminary faculty member Frances Taylor Gench, a fifth-generation Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) minister, who won an Award of Excellence in Biblical Interpretation. Her thoughtful reflection on female pastoral leadership and biblical interpretation was recognized by the Associated Church Press (ACP), which honors excellence in faith-based media. Read the article in @presoutlook: https://pres-outlook.org/2023/07/on-women-pastors-and-biblical-authority-a-presbyterian-reflection/

Dr. Frances Taylor Gench also presented a funny and feminist sermon on Luke 10 during women's history month this year. Take a listen at https://bit.ly/Gench10Luke
