Ministry women equipped

Enjoying a break at the conference

There is one conversation that is repeated often; it is the one about what women can’t do in ministry.

Media hostility has increased towards those who believe the Bible teaches comple-mentarianism, because restricting church leadership to men is considered unjust. The underlying implication is that women who teach women are inferior and succumbing to the second best option. With this in mind, the North West Gospel Partnership decided that the time had come to encourage women in the ministries that they can do.

Complementarian launch

Complementarian women’s ministry has a very low profile in the North of England — not many women are in full-time paid ministry jobs, but there are many women who have a heart to serve others and to teach the gospel. They are working hard in lots of different ways, often in quite isolated settings. So the ‘Equipped’ conference for women in ministry was launched.
