Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: EdB. Greetings brother: I think that this has been dialogued a number of times before, and I never tire of dropping some food for thought, in a kind respectful way. I find it interesting that in the 1800's there were many women in positions of Pastor in the United States. Most all of the Protestant denominations had women Pastors, and a good number still do today. Do women do a good job as a Pastor? Are women called to Pastor, are they barinf the fruit of ministry? How do I tell a female Pastor that has a growing church, and is preaching the Word, that she can't possibly be called? These are real issues, and I struggle with the answers. Often we equate The Women's Liberation Movement with women in ministry. Often homosexuality and feminism in the same group, and the truth is these two areas do bleed over to one another. However, when a woman has the call of God and does not align with herself in any way with such demanding of "their rights" but does prove to be a servant of Christ perhaps there is much more to God's call to minister than we fully understand? What are your thoughts? Blessings EdB. justme |
