This systemic reality isn't merely an inconvenience; it actively hinders the church by costing it vital leadership and keeping it from living into a vision of justice, inclusion, and equity. \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Stained Glass Ceiling\u003c\/i\u003e exposes this ongoing problem using powerful stories of women clergy, grounded in feminist history and theological depth. It names the problem of patriarchy, defines concepts like \"benevolent patriarchy\"--where support is claimed but not fully enacted--and reveals why achieving ordination hasn't yet been enough for true liberation. Gayeuski offers a bold vision for a truly feminist church and provides tangible hope for a future where all God's people can finally thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.52 x 5.59 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 03, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45970304630981,"sku":"9780827203532","price":26.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/R597tJeULT9780827203532.webp?v=1773780853","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/beyond-the-stained-glass-ceiling-women-clergy-in-a-still-patriarchal-church-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
