"What happens, then, when the woman called to preach has lost her voice at adolescence and not yet found it? What happens when a woman called to preach has internalized the notion that her life experience holds no authority? What if she believes the myth that her thinking is inferior and her emotions prevent her from being in the world in a serious and productive way? What happens when God calls this woman to stand in the pulpit and speak a word to the gathered community?"
— Turner and Hudson, “To be Saved From Silence” in Saved from Silence: Finding Women’s Voice in Preaching (St. Louis: Chalice Press) 1999, 87.
