A Biblical & Theological Basis for Women in Ministry, Occasional Paper 1

View
Edit

At its 1976 Annual Meeting The Evangelical Covenant Church voted to go on record as favoring the ordination of women. At the 1981 Annual Meeting a motion to rescind that action was overwhelmingly defeated. However, some Covenant people still have questions about the role of women in the ordained ministry. Were the decisions made legitimately or were they merely a reflection of new movements in our society?

This statement, prepared for the Board of Ministry of the ECC and adopted in 1987, offers clarification to this question, and provides the biblical and theological basis the Covenant holds to for its affirmation of women in ministry.
