Your wife also opposes female pastors as do I. She is a Proverbs wife,(Proverbs 31:10-31) strong and effective yet second in command to her husband.
Your wife ignores the effective leadership of Ruth, Catherine the Great, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth, Golda Mier, Margaret Thatcher and other women of Biblical proportion who were gifted and led by God to lead their people out of the chaos of their time. We yearn for just such a woman of justice and vision today.
It is women, in times of great injustice and trouble, who can see the way forward most clearly. They have the fortitude, the sacrificial nature and the servants heart to lead without personal glory. They are invariably supported by men of honor whose love for them and whose belief in their dignity is unflinching.
It is quite simply the nature of the Proverbs woman to lead by her commitment to eternal principles.
That was a great reply. I will save it for later.
thanks,
