Women Photograph Mentorship Application

 Surrounded by quiet pews and warm afternoon light, Vicki paused and took a breath, composing herself. 

“I was always looked at with some kind of disdain,” she said. “They called me a troublemaker when I questioned the way women were treated.” 

A decade ago, Vicki Moss was ostracized by her previous church community for questioning gender inequity and bringing attention to abuse she witnessed. Today, she is the pastor of her church in Queens, New York City. Here, Vicki leads initiatives to decrease gun violence, create safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and empower women to pursue leadership roles.  

For Such a Time as This documents women pastors across New York City who are confronting the historic exclusion of women from Church leadership. These women span a variety of backgrounds, denominations, ages, and New York City boroughs and are all leading social justice work in their communities.
