I believe Women can have authority in the secular world but as far as spiritual headship ?? can you show me an example of a woman pastor or Bishop in the bible ?

Having said that, I do think that the UPC should use more women and have more women preach and speak. and YES! in the general services! NOT just at the ladies day. I have no problem with women in ministry, just not in headship over a church.

Why did Paul send Phoebe, and not a man, to help that church he sent her to? Why did he instruct those men to do as she commanded of them?

Why do we feel that if there is no example in scripture, then God doesn't approve? If that were indeed the case, then all pastors and preachers who are from America need to bow out, because there is no example in scripture of Americans ever being called of God.

And if you think that God calls a woman because He can't find a man, then you don't give God much credit, do ya?

With God, ALL things are possible. If He calls a woman, it's because it's HIS WILL, not because He doesn't have a choice.
