Obviously to be white haired you must still have hair.

I have no issues with the story, or my bestest friend sharing it. After all it happened to both of us while I was at his location. I’m just flattered that you would want to have me as a topic of discussion over the phone.

Maria Woodsworth Etter was critical of the Oneness movement. Finding that source has been a bit of a challenge. It is in her book, Spirit Filled Sermons, published in 1921.

When I find that book, I will grab the quote and share it here.

Scott, I was just wondering if in your studies within this time period, you found a more agreeable atmosphere for women that considered themselves preachers?

Women in ministry was widespread in American Pentecostalism from 1906 onwards. I am not sure when it became an issue in this country. It was not an issue in pre WW2 American Pentecostalism.

I have never been part of a church that forbad women from ministry.

I figured it wasn’t an issue. Some of the Pentecost pioneers were in favor of not only women preachers, yet women pastors. Just to call of few of them, Verbal Bean (his mother was a pastor) C.R. Free, T.F. Tenney, Bill Cole etc..

Why do you think these mens ministry were so powerful yet believing in a women’s authority in a position of leadership in the church? Some argue that a women has no place in the ministry, yet they believed in it and prospered in the spirit.

Women in ministry has nothing to do with theology, and everything to do with a cultural shift brought on by WW2. The war initiated changes to a woman's role in society. One response to these changes was to define a woman role in society from a conservative point of view. This conservative point of view did not permit women to be in ministry.

The impact of the war on American Pentecostalism needs more attention.

Brother Pita,

Women in ministry has everything to do with theology. It’s a way bigger deal than people understand. A woman correcting a man is perverted. It’s unseemly. It’s unnatural. It’s contrary to scripture.


In my humble opinion.

Scott, there were woman preachers in America before WWII. Women preacher as Torquemada had put it in his post "a perversion" So it has everything to do with twisted theology. Hence our country is burning wreckage because the roles of male and female were messed up way before WWII.
