Bible Question:
1. Can women be preachers in the assembly of men? 2. Can women be elders of an assembly? 3. What is the practice in your churches? |
Bible Answer: Hello Nicholson! 1. No (1 Cor. 14:34) 2. Yes (Acts 16:14-15) 3. My church gives certain leadership positions to women, but women cannot pastor or lead the congregation. I attend a Conservative Mennonite Church, which is one step more liberal than being Amish Mennonite. All the women in my church wear the head covering and we abide by a church covenant that firmly believes in the places of the man and the woman in worship as well as in society and in the home.
