DAVEH: ??? Where do we find female apostles in the Bible? Judy: Paul referred to a large number of servants of God, men and women, making no distinction of sex. He described Phebe as a ruler. He acknowledged Junia as an apostle, and distinguished her as "of note among the apostles" (Rom 16:7) John Chrysostom wrote in a Homily on Romans: "Indeed to be an apostle at all is a great thing. But to be even amongst these of note, just consider what a great econium this is. But they were of note owing to their works, to their achievements. Oh how great is the devotion of this woman that she should even be counted worthy of the appellation of Apostle." Grace and Peace, Judy ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
