| Maud Jensen Tells about Her Ordination |
Speaker(s): Maud Jensen |
Description: Maud K. Jensen was the first women ordained in full connection in the United Methodist Church. In 1956, the General Conference granted full clergy rights to women by voting that they could be admitted into full ministerial membership in Methodist Annual Conferences. On May 18, within a month of this action, Jensen, a missionary to Korea, became the first woman to be admitted into full conference membership in the Central Pennsylvania Conference. She spent forty years in Korea as a full-time and then retired missionary. Here, she tells about her ordination. Jensen was born in 1904 and died in 1998. | Length: 8:47 | Recording Date: unknown | Recorded at: |
