Many churches had to start having women in leadership roles because there were more women congregants than men, or the men refused to serve. If there’s a qualified man who is willing to serve, that’s optimal, but churches are filled with wives whose husbands would rather go hunting or watch tv, than go to church. Same thing in the home. Nothing is more frustrating to a Christian wife, than a husband who refuses to be the spiritual head of the household. SOMEBODY has to lead, and if the man won’t, the woman has to step up.
Which came first, actually: men losing interest in churches, or churches becoming more feminist-oriented, and less fulfilling to the spiritual needs of the men?
