View point of women as property,, letter from Rev Joey

Thank you for sharing, I am a Male Minister...I agree with you about Male Dominated religion. It is difficult especially in Baptist Church for women. In my local congregation I have 32 members 8 of them are Male and the remaining 24 are Women. According to Baptists Traditions, Women are not in any way shape or form to hold any offices in the church. I have a real problem with traditions that subjugate anyone at all. I have served this Church for the past 5 years, and I have seen many changes. I despise traditions that limit Divine moving. I have only one other man able to serve. I was very proud of my congregation when they voted to ordain five women as Elders who have served beautifully this last year.....its just like a Baptist to be long winded......lol......What I can say is that I have my first Female Minister in training....what is sad is that she is 64 years old and she is petrified to do anything without permission...although she is growing into a very wonderful outspoken Woman of God. I hope to have more Women apply to the Ministry. O.K. Now I am rambling. Thank You for listening/reading


Greetings Rev Joey
I agree with you about Male Dominated religion. yes this has been a very dominated problem since before Christ even,
Woman has taken a back seat for far to long, it is time for them to step up to reclaim their place  in this world ,as it was in the beginning ,
petrified to do anything without permission !!! Yes I have seen this my whole life due to
Humanities  in  societies View point of women as property,, it wasn’t till the 19th century
We where  allowed to seek higher education ,
Even fathers viewed their daughters as property,,    to trade or sell into marriage
That is why I have change a few things in my wedding vow’s
Others would ask at this time who gives this bride in marriage, but as a woman is not property to be bought or sold, given or taken, I ask simply if she comes of her own will and accord. Will her parents bless her on her day ?
BRIDE is it true that you come of your own free will and accord?
With whom do you come and whose blessings accompany you.

[FATHER] She comes with me, her father, and is accompanied by all of her family's blessings.
Ok now who’s getting winded LOL
