Women in the Church.
I attend Community Fellowship Church in Waterloo and I love it. I go there for many reaons, but a very prominant reason is because of the pastor there, who is an incredible speaker. Incredibly humble and intellectual. He could argue cirlces around most people, but he always approaches questions and disagreements with such an open spirit and authenticity. It just makes me so happy to be alive..haha.
He gave a couple messages about the role of women in the church, and they were really healing for me to listen to, as this issue has been one that has bothered me often.
In light of some recent conversations...and ongoing discussion, both serious and not. I'd like to recommend these messages.
Can Women lead the church?
The audio files are located at the bottom of this page. They deal with so much more than even women in the church, they are a reflection of how our spirituality and society interact on a day to day basis.
If you are not part of a church that deals with this, or had no idea that this was even an issue in the 21st Century...haha...bear with me. :)

I love seeing that churches tackle this. I can't believe that there are still churches that don't allow women to be pastors. The Baptist convention of some sort just did a vote on the whole subject matter again and still over 80% voted against it.
I can't beleive it.
The church I'm at is so pro women in leadership, at times you think it would be better odds to get hired there for a position being a women than a man, haha.
But for real, some churches need to wake up because so much leadership is sitting untouched in the pews or unrecognized because of this kind of thinking.
