Dr. Kimberly Alexander will present a special three-part lecture series entitled, \u201cWomen Ministers in the Holiness-Pentecostal Movement\u201d in Falcon, North Carolina, on May 19, 2018. Alexander is the guest speaker for Heritage Lectures 2018, hosted by the Archives & Research Department of the North Carolina Conference of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Each year, the Archives and Research Department of the NC Conference of the IPHC hosts Heritage Lectures; a one-day ministry training event for Pentecostal ministers, church historians, academics, and lay-leaders. The challenge is to take an honest look at one aspect of Pentecostal history and consider what lessons can be learned and applied toward improving current and future ministry strategies. This year\u2019s topic is \u201cWomen Ministers and the Holiness-Pentecostal Movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Alexander is the associate professor of History of Christianity in the School of Divinity at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Before moving to Regent in 2011, she served for 11 years as associate professor of Historical Theology at Pentecostal Theological Seminary in Cleveland, Tennessee, where she also served as assistant vice president for Academics. She is a former president of the Society for Pentecostal Studies. Dr. Alexander has conducted extensive research on the history of Pentecostal women ministers. Her research also focuses on women in contemporary Pentecostalism and has been used to help pastors and denominational leaders understand the unique challenges that Pentecostal women ministers face, presenting history, current data, and effective strategies for affirming, developing, and launching women ministers into full-time Christian service. Her expertise has been sought out by scholars and church leaders in the larger Pentecostal movement around the world. She has presented her research in North and South America as well as in the Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and, Europe.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alexander is the author of numerous book chapters and journal articles as well as three books: Pentecostal Healing: Models of Theology and Practice<\/em>; with R. Hollis Gause, Women in Leadership:\u00a0 A Pentecostal Perspective<\/em>; and with James P. Bowers, What Women Want: Pentecostal Women Ministers Speak for Themselves. <\/em>She is delighted to bring her research and passion the IPHC and to the historical Pentecostal community of Falcon, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Falcon is the cradle of the Holiness-Pentecostal movement in Eastern North Carolina and the birthplace of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. The IPHC has always licensed women ministers to serve in all capacities of church leadership. However, history shows that it was an exception for women ministers to receive ordination for pastoral ministry in the North Carolina Conference of the IPHC until 1974 when Rev. Blanche Pollard\u2019s church, Friendship Pentecostal Holiness Church, in Aurora, North Carolina, petitioned the conference to grant her the same credentials for pastoral ministry that male pastors had received–ordination. Their request was granted. Rev. Vera Griffin was also granted ordination that same year.<\/p>\n

At present, women pastors within the IPHC continue to be an exception rather than a norm. However, progress steadily continues as can be evidenced by Rev. Beatriz Lourdes L\u00f3pez Albuine\u2019s recent tenure as bishop of IPHC, Cuba.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alexander and the North Carolina Conference IPHC Archives and Research Department extend a warm invitation to pastors and leaders from across the Pentecostal\/Charismatic family to attend Heritage Lectures 2018 on Saturday, May 19, 2018, from 9:00 a.m. \u2013 2:30 p.m. Registration is required and space is limited.

Por la Rev. Karen Lucas<\/strong> <\/p> La Dra. Kimberly Alexander presentar\u00e1 una serie especial de conferencias en tres partes titulada "Mujeres Ministras en el Movimiento de Santidad Pentecostal" en Falcon, Carolina del Norte, el 19 de mayo de 2018. Alexander es el orador invitado de Heritage Lectures 2018, organizado por el Departamento de Archivos e Investigaci\u00f3n de la Conferencia de Carolina del Norte de la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad Pentecostal (IPHC). \"\"<\/a> Cada a\u00f1o, el Departamento de Archivos e Investigaci\u00f3n de la Conferencia de Carolina del Norte de IPHC organiza Conferencias sobre Patrimonio; un evento de capacitaci\u00f3n ministerial de un d\u00eda para ministros pentecostales, historiadores eclesi\u00e1sticos, acad\u00e9micos y l\u00edderes laicos. El desaf\u00edo es mirar honestamente un aspecto de la historia pentecostal y considerar qu\u00e9 lecciones se pueden aprender y aplicar para mejorar las estrategias actuales y futuras del ministerio. El tema de este a\u00f1o es "Ministras de Mujeres y el Movimiento de Santidad-Pentecostal". El Dr. Alexander es el profesor asociado de Historia del Cristianismo en la Escuela de Divinidad de Regent University en Virginia Beach, Virginia. Antes de mudarse a Regent en 2011, sirvi\u00f3 durante 11 a\u00f1os como profesora asociada de Teolog\u00eda Hist\u00f3rica en el Seminario Teol\u00f3gico Pentecostal en Cleveland, Tennessee, donde tambi\u00e9n se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 como vicepresidenta asistente de Acad\u00e9micos. Ella es ex presidenta de la Sociedad de Estudios Pentecostales. El Dr. Alexander ha llevado a cabo una extensa investigaci\u00f3n sobre la historia de las ministras pentecostales. Su investigaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n se enfoca en las mujeres en el pentecostalismo contempor\u00e1neo y se ha utilizado para ayudar a pastores y l\u00edderes confesionales a comprender los desaf\u00edos \u00fanicos que enfrentan las ministras pentecostales, presentando la historia, los datos actuales y las estrategias efectivas para afirmar, desarrollar y poner en tiempo de servicio cristiano. Su experiencia ha sido buscada por acad\u00e9micos y l\u00edderes de la iglesia en el movimiento pentecostal m\u00e1s grande del mundo. Ha presentado su investigaci\u00f3n en Am\u00e9rica del Norte y del Sur, as\u00ed como en Hong Kong, el Reino Unido y Europa. El Dr. Alexander es autor de numerosos cap\u00edtulos de libros y art\u00edculos de revistas, as\u00ed como tres libros: Sanaci\u00f3n Pentecostal: Modelos de Teolog\u00eda y Pr\u00e1ctica<\/em> ; con R. Hollis Gause, Mujeres en el liderazgo: una perspectiva pentecostal<\/em> ; y con James P. Bowers, Lo que las mujeres quieren: las ministras pentecostales hablan por s\u00ed mismas.<\/em> Est\u00e1 encantada de llevar su investigaci\u00f3n y pasi\u00f3n al IPHC y a la comunidad pentecostal hist\u00f3rica de Falcon, Carolina del Norte. Falcon es la cuna del movimiento holiness-pentecostal en el este de Carolina del Norte y el lugar de nacimiento de la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad Pentecostal. El IPHC siempre ha otorgado licencias a mujeres ministras para servir en todas las capacidades del liderazgo de la iglesia. Sin embargo, la historia muestra que fue una excepci\u00f3n para las ministras recibir la ordenaci\u00f3n para el ministerio pastoral en la Conferencia de IPHC de Carolina del Norte hasta 1974 cuando la iglesia del Rev. Blanche Pollard, Friendship Pentecostal Holiness Church, en Aurora, Carolina del Norte, solicit\u00f3 a la conferencia ot\u00f3rguele las mismas credenciales para el ministerio pastoral que los pastores masculinos hab\u00edan recibido: la ordenaci\u00f3n. Su solicitud fue concedida. La reverenda Vera Griffin tambi\u00e9n recibi\u00f3 la ordenaci\u00f3n ese mismo a\u00f1o. En la actualidad, las mujeres pastoras dentro de la IPHC contin\u00faan siendo una excepci\u00f3n m\u00e1s que una norma. Sin embargo, el progreso contin\u00faa de manera constante, como puede evidenciarse por el reciente mandato de la Reverenda Beatriz Lourdes L\u00f3pez Albuine como obispo de IPHC, Cuba. Dr. Alexander y la Conferencia de Carolina del Norte El Departamento de Archivos e Investigaci\u00f3n de IPHC extiende una c\u00e1lida invitaci\u00f3n a los pastores y l\u00edderes de toda la familia pentecostal \/ carism\u00e1tica para asistir a las Conferencias de Herencia 2018 el s\u00e1bado 19 de mayo de 2018, de 9:00 a.m. a 2:30 p.m. pm Se requiere registro y el espacio es limitado.
