1 | What did women do in the early church? | Rom 16:2 | charis | 6705 | ||
Dear Hank, A lot! Seriously, it seems to me, IMHO, that women were very active in the early church. Even today, I think it is safe to say that women are the majority in most Christian activities. I think it is also safe to say that a majority of independent local churches started as a result of the prayers and participation of women, and often in women's homes. I must say that my own limited experience has shown that women are 'prayer warriors,' and 'personal evangelists,' as well as givers of care, shelter and love. I have no reason to doubt that this was so in the early church. We now have large 'organized and established' churches that put men in the limelight, but I believe that women are the more effective servants overall. Though I believe that God has placed a mantle of responsibility upon men as shepherds and pillars of their households, we (men) should be shamed by the selfless zeal and faith that women have shown these two millennia. I applaud the women of the early church, and their living legacy in the church today! Amen! (No, my wife didn't make me write this :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |
