Kelly,
You have my utmost respect and admiration for your situation. I cannot
imagine what you must be going through. I pray the Holy Spirit would heal
you for His Glory and use you, once again, in some capacity of ministry.
After all, that is what the body of Christ is for, to witness and minister
to each other.
As I said in my earlier post, I did and do not know your situation
personally. However, if a woman steps up to the plate because men don't,
then, you are right, they shouldn't try to hold her back. I beleive with
all my heart if a woman has been "drafted" into a ministry position because
men won't do it, then she should be accorded all the support any man would
have in that position, if not more. I am not trying to hold women back, I
am merely trying, in my own messed up way, to raise thought about issues
from a different perspective than I have seen posted here. There are
usually more than two sides to any debate, and in this debate, I have seen
the "disgruntled do it my way never mind national standards" versus "this is
national policy and that is the issue". I personally feel the issue is a
spiritual issue; the condition of God's "servants" in submission to the
earthly authority God has put there. Maybe I'm wrong, but it is a viewpoint
to look at, or from, at any rate.
In the Love of Christ,
DJ
