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 fo 606 $aWomen in church work 615 0$aWomen in church work. 676 $a289.9/4 700 $aButler$b Anthea D.$f1960-$01495540 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781560203321 996 $aWomen in the Church of God in Christ$93719630 997 $aUNINA
