Chicago Women-Church.

Feminist faith community. Chicago Women-Church (CWC) began in the mid-1990s as a splinter organization from Chicago Catholic Women. The mission statement of CWC, written in 1994 and reported on the CWC web site thereafter identifies CWC as an egalitarian faith community. CWC is a member of Women-Church Convergence and CWC members attend the national meetings. Of the many ritual-based activities of CWC, perhaps most famously, in May 1996 CWC carried out an Ordination Ritual and Protest in front of Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago to promote the ordination of women.
