Women in Ministry: Leaders or Followers?
Since we have just moved to a new town, we are in the unique, sometimes awkward, always surprising process of looking for a church home. As I was perusing the neighborhood options online, I noticed a Brethren in Christ church nearby. Doing a little online research led me to this article, supporting women in ministry:
Biblical Foundation for Women in Ministry and Leadership: A Brief Study.
I happily admit my bias as one who enthusiastically supports freedom in many areas, and in this case with regard to women in ministry; I strongly believe that if someone has a gift that can uplift the body of Christ, they should be free to use it, regardless of gender. This article is a strong elucidation of the scriptural, theological, and cultural reasons to support it. Of course, not everyone agrees with this view. But I encourage you to have a look, whatever side of the fence you spend time on.
What do you think about this issue? If you take another view, what support do you have to back up your view? I would like to hear from you, either way…
I don’t know if we will end up worshiping at our local Brethren in Christ church. We are still in the early stages of our search. But I like what I am seeing so far…
