evidence: Called: The Women in Ministry in Ireland Research Project [...] This is not a quote from the Women in Ministry in Ireland report but from the BBC's Vicar of Dibley! Newly arrived vicar, Geraldine, is not what the congregation expect and not everyone is welcoming. How does the character feel as she delivers the one-liners? How is it for her to arrive as a new minister and face a gendered response in addition to the challenges of a new parish? The Women in Ministry in Ireland project has investigated the experience of female ministers across the denominations, in the North and the Republic of Ireland. They are parish sisters, priests, chaplains and worship leaders; evangelists and spiritual guides. Some are ordained and some are not. They come from the four largest denominations and some other Protestant traditions. Although the circumstances of women's ministry varies in these churches it was my wish allow any differences in experience to come from the research rather than impose it by dividing the group at the outset. Women in ministry on this island already inherit Ireland's sectarian past. Doing this research across the churches may, in a small way, undermine sectarian thinking and allow new connections to be formed across the historical divides.
