They were minister\u2019s wives and teachers of religious education and professors at theological schools. And they were also ministering to young adults on campuses. Between 1950-1975, mainline denominations sent their young, unmarried women to campus, where many of them dreamt of ordained ministry. On campus (a newly recognized \u201cmission field\u201d for the mainline), women got their feet wet counseling students, leading worship, and administering foundations. The turbulence of campuses in the \u201860s and \u201870s changed the trajectory of women\u2019s activism surrounding formal leadership rights in their churches. And women\u2019s presence in campus ministry during these decades connected the small vanguard of mainline women in ministry in the \u201850s and early \u201860s to the generation of young women who would go on to ordination en masse in the 1980s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City: Freeport, Maine Title: &#8220;Mainline Women in Campus Ministry, 1950-1975&#8221; Abstract: In the middle of the twentieth century, women of the American Protestant mainline were serving in church roles on the margins of ministry that enabled their later entrance into the formal, ordained ministry in greater numbers.
