When The Rt. Rev. Dr. Dorothy Sanders Wells (MDiv, ‘12) was elected as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi, she made history. As the first woman and first Black person to hold the position, Bishop Sanders Wells is opening doors for faith leaders following in her footsteps, and we are immensely proud of her leadership as an alum of Memphis Theological Seminary.
To honor Bishop Sanders Wells and her accomplishments, we have established the Bishop Dorothy Sanders Wells Women in Ministry Scholarship. We have set an ambitious goal of raising $50,000 in Bishop Sanders Wells’s honor to make this scholarship fund a reality.
We are hoping you might consider making a gift toward this scholarship fund. We are gratefully accepting gifts of any size.
For those who would like to make a larger investment in the future of faith leaders like Bishop Sanders Wells, we have also established giving levels for contributors that may be paid out over the course of 5 years.
