“For many new immigrant women, the only places they may find leadership opportunities are in their women’s groups, which are often very insular,” said the Rev. Terri Ofori, chaplain at Bloomfield (N.J.) College and chaplain to the Synod Commission of the Northeast. “I want the women that I’m speaking with to understand that they have the power to change that. That they have more power than they may realize and that their voices need to be heard across the church.”
