One of my convictions is that many of us pay lip service to equality between men and women in churches, but we have given very few women the chance to fill the pulpits of our churches, preach for special events, and be the preachers for special emphases. It is easy to say we support women in ministry, but it takes effort to have women deliberately come and practice their preaching skills on our congregations. Also, how many women have we recommended to search committees in our Baptist family? Women deserve more visible support, not just proclaimed support.
