Women in charge: Paving the way for the next generation

With my best friend riding shotgun and my two dogs in the back seat of my Buick Encore, I made the road trip from D.C. to Chicago last month for the ordination and consecration of Paula E. Clark, the first female bishop, and first Black bishop, of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago. She’s also my mom. I’m incredibly proud of her, but sometimes it amazes me we’re still celebrating women’s firsts.
