Evangelicals and women

Amy Carmichael

At present the role of women in ministry is one of the most pressing topics among evangelical Christians.

Recent books reassessing complementarian and egalitarian perspectives on the Bible have provided some helpful reconsideration of the topic and reflection on the nature of leadership in the contemporary church. However, for onlookers from outside the evangelical church, the debate can seem antiquated and out of touch.

For those concerned to defend the faith and present Christianity at its best, it is worth reminding ourselves that concern for the mutual value of men and women has always been at the heart of the gospel. Regardless of current differences over the interpretation of Scripture and its application to leadership, Christians should be united in opposing casual sexism and promoting the value and worth of both sexes.
