Dr. Bridget Mary Meehan\u2014bishop in the Roman Catholic Womanpriests movement\u2014shares how inner, experiential knowing of God has long shaped Christian mysticism. From the Gospel of Mary to Teresa of \u00c1vila, she explores how forgotten voices and lived experience challenge hierarchy and renew faith, offering a vision of a more inclusive and Spirit-led church today. Rev. Dr. Bridget Mary Meehan is a bishop in the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests (ARCWP) and a prophetic leader in the global movement for women\u2019s equality in the Church. She is also a certified minister in the Federation of Christian Ministries, co-founder of People\u2019s Catholic Seminary, and Dean of the Masters in Divinity and Doctor of Ministry programs at Global Ministries University. She was ordained in 2006 as one of the first eight Roman Catholic Women Priests in the U.S., and in 2024, she ordained three deacons and three priests at the historic \u201cOrdination on the Tiber\u201d in Rome, a landmark public witness for women\u2019s ordination.
