"Even in the warmest and most welcoming evangelical churches, patriarchy looms as an ever-present force suppressing women’s possibilities and debilitating whole communities. Well-intentioned churchgoers and church leaders have bought into deeply-entrenched male-dominated mindsets, power structures, and theologies that are not working-not for women, and really not for anyone. Part memoir and part faith-based feminist manifesto, Nice Churchy Patriarchy takes an unflinching look at the ways misogyny’s subtler forms impact every aspect of women’s experiences in church. After confronting misogyny’s faces head-on, Liz goes on to explore how we can build better faith communities together."--Publisher marketing.
