Student Awarded 2024 Nancy A. Hardesty Memorial Scholarship
The following is an excerpt from the official announcement published by Christian Feminism Today.
The eleventh annual Nancy A. Hardesty Memorial Scholarship, sponsored by Christian Feminism Today, has been awarded to Mallory Challis, a Master of Divinity student studying at Wake Forest School of Divinity in Winston Salem, NC.
After earning her B.A. in Religious Studies at Wingate University in Wingate, NC, Challis, who also works as a freelance journalist and columnist with Baptist News Global, plans to seek ordination in the Baptist Church.
Challis realized her calling to ministry as a high school student. She writes, “I quickly learned that God’s call will not be stifled by gender roles. It was when I began my undergraduate degree . . . that I started to hear the voices of women in the Bible with the gusto they deserve.”
