Being a preacher's kid and pastor's wife, I think the worst one has been women being quiet, or not having leadership, in the church... over men. I personally (with the help and support of my husband and father) have prayed, searched the scriptures, considered the culture of the time, and believe I have an understanding of that. IE, I have preached and taught in church, I have been on Boards and in positions of authority and leadership, and in doing so have been fulfilling God's call on my life for those points in time. But it certainly is a relevant issue to our times and much confussion seems to still exist about this.

I look forward to your next installment.
