Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: Hi Zsuszi, The previous link I gave you deals with the general concept of the dignity of women. Below you will find a link to a much shorter document regarding the reservation of priestly ordination to men, which of course is a very different thing from the ministry as understood in Protestant communions and even different from the understanding of priestly ordination in the Anglican communion. I thought it important that the first link was presnted before this one, so that the whole context of the subject is preserved. Ministry in the broader sense is fully open to women and has been exercised to the great benefit of the Church since its founding by Christ.
