This study presents an empirical analysis of the leadership contributions of the female leader of a faith-based organization, one of the first female Lutheran ministers, and the first female bishop, thereby contributing to a better understanding of female church leadership. The leadership role of these women can be characterized as symbolic change-making, as ideological, value-based, and relational community building. Despite resistance, the women were moved by their personal calling to assume a symbolic leadership role, embodying change in the church. They were reluctant to define a leadership position, but took steps toward a more inclusive and holistic church, infusing the organization with values such as compassion, equality, and justice, while fighting for social issues and working for outcasts. They displayed as well a relational and holistic orientation, building communities of sisterhood and family-oriented fellowship.
