Women's Rites is written and produced by students taking courses in the Religion Department at Smith College. Season 1 explores the story of women's ordination in Community of Christ, a denomination with a quarter million members and formerly named the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This denomination began to ordain women in 1985. Subsequent seasons will investigate women's ordination within American Judaism, Buddhism, and mainline Protestant denominations. Look for these episodes in the spring of 2021.more
