Interesting career with difficulties, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook is sourced but reads a bit too harmless. Can you stress the tension of those 13 years a bit more. It would also not hurt to say that she was the first women ordained. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:36, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the review Gerda Arendt I was trying to avoid using "first woman" as it seems to be used so often, but what about:
  • My wording of the same would be
ALT3 ... that 13 years after Lydia Emelie Gruchy graduated her theological studies with honors, she was finally ordained in 1936 as the first female minister of the United Church of Canada? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:53, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
ALT3 preferred ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
