Beverly St. John
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Beverly St. John served as that denomination's first female moderator of the General Assembly in 1988. The Cumberland Presbyterian denomination had been the first Presbyterian body to ordain women as clergy beginning with Louisa Woosley in 1889. St. John also authored a collection of poetry, As the Twig is Bent, in the mid-1960s.
