The latest installment of the “Hollering for Change” series continues to look at women “firsts” in the denomination. The Rev. Dr. Tori Butler speaks with the Rev. Nicole Caldwell-Gross, the first African American woman appointed to Noblesville First United Methodist Church in Indiana. Caldwell-Gross describes being fearful before affirmation from her son overcame that fear and made her consider other places God had sent her to prepare her for this next step.
At a time of rising threats to basic human rights, the United Methodist women’s organization encouraged its members to put love into action so all people can have the abundant life promised by Jesus.
