@oooshevancey I’m sorry. As a former pastor this kills me tonhear stories like yours. I got into a yelling match once with a deacon because he told a young lady who had pink hair she needed to leave. Didn’t last long at that church
@erichoke Retired now but once got rejected from a church not because I was unqualified but because I had only worked at a church of 4,000, not 5,000. 🤦♂️
#SBC23 “hey ladies you can’t be pastors.”
Also, #SBC23 “but you can be foreign missionaries. Go to third world countries. Preach the gospel to men and women. Shepherd people. Start churches. Risk your lives for Jesus.
But don’t call yourself a pastor.

“What does it mean when we are slow on the take to speak up for women where are abused in our churches but quick on the draw to disallow women from being associate pastors?”

The grand irony of the #SBC23 results is that if women in leadership at every SBC church took a year off from serving, next years convention numbers would be a abysmal.
