On The Subject of Women in Ministry
Women in ministry v2.5; A TAM response
Women In Ministry Printable Booklet v2.5
The following information is available to those wishing to understand what the scriptures say on the issue of women in ministry. It is a response to a paper ‘On The Subject of Women in Ministry’ delivered by the Church of Christ at Burleigh Heads, Queensland, Australia. The paper issued by them stated that it ‘reflected the Queensland Churches of Christ in Queensland and…nationally’.
The paper represents similar views increasingly being adopted by the Baptist Union and other affiliations. I have quoted from sections in the paper in italics and then commented on each statement in bold and brackets.
Our response details the issues and shows how to respond to the usual ‘strawmen’ arguments issued today.
