In the year celebrating 500 years of the Reformation in the world, it is important to show by research data in what measure women in Protestant religious communities in Vojvodina have become visible in various fields of religious life. It is well known that women have always been the most religious ones, and that today women are more active in all (not only) Christian communities and that they are also pastors in some Protestant communities. Here we show to what extent the ordination of women pastors in the three Protestant churches in Vojvodina contributes to peacebuilding and what practical solutions may be recommended based on their experience acquired during their performing pastoral duties in 2017. The empirical data are from the already published literature and from semi-structured interviews with 13 women pastors from three Protestant communities in Vojvodina located in different towns. The results show that by the end of Second World War, thanks to various political and historical circumstances, a significant number of women took over the position of pastors in three Protestant churches in various towns in Vojvodina. Today, in some parishes the third generation of women pastors perform pastoral duties. The most significant result is that women pastors build everyday peace, the fundamental mission of their Christian religion, and they pass it on to younger generations. In Serbia the public knows little about the impact the women pastors in Protestant churches in Vojvodina (who perform their duties in their mother tongues (Hungarian, Slovak) and/or in the majority language, have on the following issues: vision of peacebuilding, intercultural values, ecumenical dialogue, interreligious intertwining and affirmation of living together. The suggestion for immediate practice is to create various activities that will make the women pastors’ work and contribution more visible in the public life in Serbia. The women pastors should be more visible in texts written by religious dignitaries, in encyclopaedias entries or in tourist texts that are intended for better understanding of the religious situation in Vojvodina as well as in schoolbooks for theological and religious education, and in schoolbooks about cultural relations.
