Following on from yesterday’s round up of blogs and articles I’ve come across recently. I thought I’d list a few of the things that women can do in our church, which I think is far more than in some churches but not as much as others:

What they do

• lead worship
• publicly read scripture
• baptise
• lead communion
• preach
• lead children
• lead a small group
• be a trustee
• share their spiritual gifts (prophesy etc..)
• disciple others
• Probably more…but my brain is tired

What they don’t do:

• exercise church discipline
• take final responsibility for vision and doctrine

There may be more but I can’t think of those either…
