2010 Annual Gathering, Charlotte, North Carolina
sted by Baptist Women in Ministry in late June 2010 during the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s General Assembly in Charlotte, North Carolina, were amazing!
Our book signing was a huge success! Twenty of t he women preachers whose sermons were included in THIS IS WHAT A PREACHER LOOKS LIKE were there to sign books. To read news coverage about 
the event, click here.
The BWIM Workshop, featuring stories of courage, was well attended, informational, and a great time of conversation! Thanks to Loyd Allen for moderating and to Reba Cobb, Melissa Fox, and Andrea Dellinger Jones for sharing their stories! And thanks to Katrina Brooks for making it all happen!
And our final event, the Lauren Winner breakfast on Saturday morning, was lots of fun. Lauren addressed the ways in which women struggle in relating to other women. Her confessional tone was refreshing and her honesty about this challenge that is not often talked about was insightful!
