Women are human beings and must be regarded with much respect. The knowledge and understanding women bring to ministry is invaluable, and a woman's experience is important to the ministry of the church. In pastoral care, perhaps it is best for a woman to minister to another woman. Yes, of course. Some of the most powerful voices in the pulpit are feminine.
Christians miss positive and provocative messages of hope when women are excluded from preaching.
Fundamentalists believe women should have no right to have authority in the pulpit. Such an exclusion in the 20th century is shortsighted and thoughtless. The church should allow no one to silence responsible persons from preaching the gospel. Of course there are many other success stories where women have dynamic ministries. There should never be a defensive effort to rationalize a place for a woman's ministry.
