I want to confess that I have caught a fresh revelation of how awesome women are as leaders and are a huge resource for the Church.
Let me suggest some reasons:
1. Women easily catch the cause
2. Women are better team players
3. Women have less ambition than men – but not less vision.
4. Women are better with details
5. Women are more protective of their leaders
6. Women are usually more generous
7. Women have better people skills
8. Women are spiritually more discerning
9. Women are far better at multi-tasking
10. Women are better communicators and share their feelings more openly.
11. Women have more inate strength and take less time off.
12. Women lead more people to Christ
Women make up well over 50% of the church but under 20% of it’s leadership.
I personally don’t think it is either male or female when it comes to leadership – but both working together with mutual respect and honour.
Males are often great visionary leaders whereas women are often great collective and gathering leaders.
Together we make a great team.

so true Pastor Steve, if only more of us males and females can learn to understand,appreciate and accept our differences as a bonus rather than competing iwith power struggles, to learn to listen to each other more , we just might get somewhere working together, in church life, business and especially our marriages…
