Scripture
has the church structured in such a way that women have very little place to
participate in today’s organized religion. For instance, becoming a preacher,
teaching men, becoming an elder, or becoming a leader are roles for men.
However, being left out of the organized church leadership should not be taken
as a slight. Rather we should all realize the same Spirit that is poured out on
men is poured out on women. Quoting the prophet Joel, Peter said, ““‘In the
last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and
daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will
dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my
Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy”” (Acts 2: 17-19 NIV).
