Addie Davis Awards

Baptist Women in Ministry established the Addie Davis Awards in 1995 to honor Addie Davis, the first Southern Baptist woman ordained to the gospel ministry.

These awards are also a way for BWIM to give public recognition to gifted women seminarians. That year and in the years since, BWIM has requested nominations for the awards from Baptist seminaries, divinity schools, and houses of study. Each theological institution is asked to nominated two women students: one for the Addie Davis Awards for Excellence in Preaching and one for the Addie Davis Award for Outstanding Leadership in Pastoral Ministry.

Vocare

Vocare was published two times a year by Baptist Women in Ministry.

Each issue features articles written by Baptist women about their work in ministry and life experiences. Other articles, written by Baptist women and men, are educational, informational, or just fun.

Vocare also features wonderful color photos of Baptist women serving, leading, praying, singing, learning, and playing.
