My view on Women in the ministry has changed a lot over the years. It interesting to me that I spent nearly 20 years of my life agreeing with what it was my parents had to say about it. I remember at my home church for a lot of years we had a woman on staff that was called The Shepherd of Women. She left after quite a few years there because the senior pastor refused to give her the title of Pastor.
I found this humorous when I got older because what is a Pastor? One of their jobs is to shepherd. It appears as though it was all semantics. Little did anyone realize that by calling her a shepherd they had already given her the title of pastor.
It intrigues me how people can get so caught up in a title. The gift and the calling is not in the title. I don't think it's fair to keep that from someone because they are a woman.
