What does it mean to go first—when no one who looks like you has gone before? In this episode of the the series, Sue and Lori talk with Rev. Dr. Kate Coleman—the first Black woman ordained as a Baptist minister in the UK—and Rev. Cham Kaur-Mann—the first and only Asian woman minister in the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Together, they reflect on the challenges of being first, what they’ve learned, and the legacy they hope to leave for women in ministry.
