In this first major study of the church, Anthea Butler examines the religious and social lives of the women in the COGIC Women's Department from its founding in 1911 through the mid-1960s. She finds that the sanctification, or spiritual purity, that these women sought earned them social power both in the church and in the black community.Offering rich, lively accounts of the activities of the Women's Department foWomen in church workWomen in church work.289.9/4Butler Anthea D.1960-1495540MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781560203321Women in the Church of God in Christ3719630UNINA
