Becoming Through Belonging: Women of Faith and Global Leadership

Abstract

This essay explores the identity pathway to realizing one’s full potential within the religious framework of women from a multi-faith perspective. When exploring one’s calling for meaningfulness, women of faith search for answers within their ascribed roles culturally and their higher calling from the Divine. In the search for becoming, they find their sense of belonging within their religions. Belonging gives their lives a sense of purpose and resiliency to serve the vulnerable and marginalized.
