Teresa Fry Brown Women's Preaching and Leadership Institute

The Teresa Fry Brown Women’s Preaching and Leadership Institute (WPLI) was created to empower clergywomen and other women in ministry to more effectively carry out the mission and witness of Jesus Christ in their ministries. This involves helping women address both internal and external challenges and impediments to being women in ministry.
