it is interesting to note that without women most missionary societies and organisations would go belly up, and without female ministry, many Evangelical and Episcopal churches would have to close down through lack of personnel to run them. Also, women have a far different role in our modern society than in First Century society. It was a cultural norm for women to be in the background and have no functional involvement in politics of ministry. Yet there are examples in Scripture where women had a significant role. Also there are many cultural norms described in the Bible which are foreign to us today. Therefore, the notion that women have no role in ministry according to Scripture is taking a very simplistic view and ignores the massive changes in culture concerning women in society.Not for me. I can't imagine many men who would follow a woman.
Especially as the practice contradicts scripture.
