Evangelical pastor, talk-show host, politician. Pentecostal Preacher Woman explores the life of the Reverend Bernice Gerard (19232008), one of the most influential spiritual figures of twentieth-century British Columbia, whose complicated blend of social conservatism and social compassion has lessons for our polarized times. Coming out of a difficult childhood, Gerard was attracted to Pentecostalisms emphasis on direct personal experience of God and the use of spiritual gifts, and she became a widely travelled international evangelist. As a pastor, radio personality, and alderman, she was a compelling communicator for the Christian right and an ardent critic of liberal social mores, yet she supported social justice for refugees, Indigenous people, and Vancouvers homeless population. She remained rooted in patriarchal religious institutions but practised a kind of feminism and shared her life with a female partner. Based on Reverend Gerards personal archives and writings, Pentecostal Preacher Woman traces the complex evolution of a conservative womans ideas about faith and society.
