Today’s discussion was intended to shed light on the questions and problems that arise for two groups:

1) those who have concluded there is no biblical prohibition on women in regard to preaching or teaching.

2) those who have concluded there is no biblical prohibition on women in regard to Sr. leadership.

and in particular, how these questions and problems affect a woman’s engagement in not only discerning her calling and vocation, but in preparing for and engaging in ministry.

It was recognized that many will still want to debate the relevant biblical texts, and that discussing “what happens” when a woman preaches or leads might not be a relevant discussion for those who do not believe they should. Nevertheless, for others, these factors do play a role in discerning calling and vocation.

What other observations and questions came to mind that we were not able to discuss? What follow up conversations would you like to have?
