Kathryn Kuhlman was one of the 20th century’s greatest healing evangelists. She was a beautiful woman filled with the Holy Spirit and power.

These are exceptions, as Margaret Thatcher was an exception.

The exception doesn’t nullify nor dilute the Biblical rule of God’s general plan for the role of women.

You are in denial if you don’t see the 100-year societal trend of casting away God and his Word including the proper place of women.
