“I would encourage churches to really wrestle with, write down, articulate a theological vision for both ministers and ministry and women—and make it clear. I think a lot of churches that I’ve encountered just haven’t done that…when the church does not communicate clearly what it believes, it can actually be hurtful for women.”
“I’m always happy to talk to church leaders. We want to serve men and women through the center. And I’m happy to be a consultant and talk through some of these things one on one if needed.”
