Are women in the Christian Church a muted group?

The interesting outcome of that question is that depending on your gender identity, you may answer one way or another.

If you subscribe to my newsletter, you know that this Fall, I began a Master’s program in Communication and Leadership at Gonzaga University.

The final project in my first class is to present a communication theory and personal case study. Students have the option of writing a paper or getting creative.

Given the nature of the subject, I thought it would be best to lift words from paper and showcase the voice of a muted group I know all too well.
