Methodist Dr Pauline Webb (1927-2017) was a champion of gender equality and a role model for women and women preachers; she also combatted racism all her life. Dr Webb was Vice Moderator of the World Council of Churches (1968-75) and her passion for preaching led her into religious broadcasting with the BBC.

In 2006, she published her memoirs, 'World-Wide Webb'. Alongside the book can be seen her award celebrating her time as Vice Moderator of the World Council of Churches.
