Dallas — Conservative Christian women convened at a conference on Oct. 11, where commentator Allie Beth Stuckey addressed more than 6,500 attendees and urged political engagement. Speakers framed recent setbacks for the U.S. feminist movement during President Trump’s second term — citing dismantled nondiscrimination programs and the ouster of several women in the military — as reasons to mobilize. Organizers and many participants said longstanding religious rules barring women from priesthood or senior pastoral roles did not prevent activism. Stuckey said participants were "done sitting on the sidelines" and pledged to "double down" on political work. Based on 8 articles reviewed and supporting research.
