Womens Role in the Church

A Story of a Tragic Car Accident
A father and son were involved in a car
accident. The father was pronounced dead
at the scene as his child was rushed off in
an ambulance. Upon arrival at the
hospital, the son was moved quickly to
surgery. Orderlies, nurses and doctors
reacted with the awareness that every
second counted.
As the surgeon donned gloves and mask,
however, the unexpected happened.
Looking into the face of the boy for the first
time, the doctor looked away saying, I
cant operate. This patient is my son!
Alarm spread among the surgical
attendants. How could this be? The boys
father had died.
Many who hear this story for the first time
find it confusing. The doctors reaction
doesnt seem to make sense. The son was
not adopted and never had more than one
father. Few guess quickly that
The surgeon was the victims mother!
Many in our day are wondering to what
extent such cultural perception has also
shaped our ways of women in ministry.

Defining the Roles of Women in the Ministry
Equality of Men and Women in the
Church
We are all called to salvation and service.
Together, we are called ot ministry to
serve God and to serve one another in the
attitude of Christ.

Headship in the Church
The principles of divine order remain to be
followed based on the biblical truths.
(1 Corinthians 11:3)
Problem Situation
When faced with failures of leadership, the
Scriptures make it clear that God does not
ask us to follow a bad example. He does,
however, ask us to be willing to live with a
bad example if necessary and even to
fulfill our own obligation to those leaders
whose judgment we question.
Problem Situation
If there is a mishandled leadership, and
we fear that things would get worse if the
things do not change, then we should only
look unto Jesus. He is the solution for
leadership wherever it lands (1 Corinthians
11:24-27).
