How can a woman be a minister?

Very easy... she picks up the Bible and teaches scripture. Just like you've been doing all along on this message board...to MEN and women. :)

Yes actually Christ was approached by a woman who even had the nerve to question a Rabbi's answer. And in public no less. Did he say begone go to your husband? No here is the actual event. Notice closely the attitude of the disciples and the actions and words of Christ.

Jesus Sends a Demon Out of a Girl (Mark 7:24-30)

21Jesus then left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22 A Gentile£ woman who lived there came to him, pleading, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter has a demon in her, and it is severely tormenting her."

23But Jesus gave her no reply—not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. "Tell her to leave," they said. "She is bothering us with all her begging."

24Then he said to the woman, "I was sent only to help the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep—not the Gentiles."

25But she came and worshiped him and pleaded again, "Lord, help me!"

26"It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs," he said.

27"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even dogs are permitted to eat crumbs that fall beneath their master’s table."

28"Woman," Jesus said to her, "your faith is great. Your request is granted." And her daughter was instantly healed.
