As such, men should also lead their congregations. However, where a woman has leadership qualities that fill some gap left by the men (at any level), it would be foolish of us to deprive ourselves of her leadership, just because she is not a man. Therefore, I do not object to female leadership in the church per se. At some level though, I think the need for female leaders is to the shame of us men; but to deprive ourselves of such leadership? Even more so.Mikehttp://www.geocreationism.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-4304462856877236672010-10-13T17:50:55.244-04:002010-10-13T17:50:55.244-04:00Thanks, Keetha.

Yes, I think there are lots of examples of women being spiritual leaders of their husbands in our own time.<br /><br />Thank you, biotek_ka, especially for commenting twice!

I wanted to mention Ruth approaching Boaz, which Candice Watters discusses here: http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0001352.cfm<br /><br />I'm also reading Paul, Women and Wives by Craig Keener, have you read it? He introduced me to the terms "complimentarian" and "egalitarian."
