| Bible Question (short): Can a woman pastor a church? |
|
Question (full): My pastor is born again and Spirit filled I believe. We have had several discussions in the last 4 years about leadership in the church and what Elders jobs are and also deacons, however I am very involved in our church and do not see our leaders "doing" very much at all. When it comes to working with the outreaches, cleaning the church, handing out fliers or tracts, feeding the hungry or anything else that my pastor has explained to me that they should be doing they are always on "vacation"-"had to work in their yards"-"or couldnt get away from their families" or they show up just as we laymen are getting finished with everything. I have been very involved in ministry since 1989, leading bible studies, food ministries, clothing ministries, doing much of the secretarial work in each church that I have attended (my husband has been transfered through his work a couple of times, thus the moves). The questions that I have are this. 1. How does a pastor evaluate who should be an elder or deacon? And what specifically are their jobs? (Please answer in detail) 2.And where in the bible does it say specifically that women cannot be pastors of a church and preach the Gospel? Both my Sr. Pastor and Associate Pastor rattle off a scripture or two that I have checked out rather thouroughly and I don't see it. Maybe it is written between the lines. |
