Christine Schenk (born 1946) is an American Roman Catholic nun and author. She is the founding director of FutureChurch, an international group of Catholics affiliated with parishes focusing on full lay participation in the life of the Church, from which she stepped down in 2013. Among other books, she is the author of Crispina and Her Sisters: Women and Authority in Early Christianity[1] (Fortress 2017), which Brian McDermott, SJ, reviewing for America: The Jesuit Review, described as ample material to "radically transform our understanding of Christian women as authority figures in the early centuries".[2]
