Evangelical pastor, talk-show host, politician. Pentecostal Preacher Woman explores the life of the Reverend Bernice Gerard (1923\u20132008), one of the most influential spiritual figures of twentieth-century British Columbia, whose complicated blend of social conservatism and social compassion has lessons for our polarized times.\nComing out of a difficult childhood, Gerard was attracted to Pentecostalism's emphasis on direct personal experience of God and the use of spiritual gifts, and she became a widely travelled international evangelist. As a pastor, radio personality, and alderman, she was a compelling communicator for the Christian right and an ardent critic of liberal social mores, yet she supported social justice for refugees, Indigenous people, and Vancouver's homeless population.
