I have to say that I am torn by this ongoing push to ban women Pastors! I know of so many women who preach the word of God better than many men! Years ago I was in the office of the late Pastor Ray Franks of KAZQ TV and Ray and my friend got in a debate about women Pastors. Pastor Ray’s wife was a preacher. He biblically defended women Pastors. Ray is one of the most solid Christian men I have ever met! Pastor Bill Ruhl wrote about this awhile back Should Women Serve as Pastors?
