A man stepping down for a woman is a clear representation of Jesus

Katherine Chow, former lawyer and now Holy Trinity Brompton’s (HTB) first female and racially diverse associate vicar, spoke with our editor, Tola-Doll Fisher about her unexpected journey into church leadership and why she is passionate about intergenerational mentoring

Tola-Doll Fisher (TDF): Did you ever see yourself in church leadership?

Katherine Chow (KC): No, I was involved in youth and a number of different ministries to students as a young person [but] I grew up in a church where there were no women who preached or had senior leadership roles so I never saw myself working for the Church or being in church leadership. I ended up practising law for about ten years; I thought that I would have a job, and serve within the Church. But God had other ideas.
