The story that’s told is that women are catty or unsupportive of one another. There is another story— it’s one about clergywomen friendships. We have a lot in common and need to share our joys & burdens together. On this episode of #pastorbesties, we talk about the importance of female clergy friendships. Share some of your stories in the comments or using #pastorbesties on Twitter.
Nicole Cox and Melissa Meyers met and became fast friends, bonding over The United Methodist Church, reality TV, & Bravo. After a mutual desire for a reality show, #pastorbesties was born! The #pastorbesties vlog is a YouTube video series where Nicole and Melissa show what it’s like being a young, female clergy person, as well as some thoughts on topics about faith, life, and reality TV.
