I am glad to hear, however, of your strong advocacy for women in ministry leadership. I believe likewise and from what I've been able to find in the Bible there's nothing Scriptural that should have me thinking or believing otherwise. Recently, while having a lovely lunch with my sister and her three teenaged kids, the topic of politics came up and my seventeen-year-old nephew mentioned that he didn't think women were "made" for presidential leadership, "biblically" and all. Hilary makes my eyelids shiver, but so did this comment. I momentarily considered unleashing a lot, or a little, on me dear nephew, but since we were all having such a lovely lunch and my sister has been to hell and back this year, I decided against it. I have no doubt that someone, somewhere, will set the young one straight. (It might well be his loving aunt or uncle.) And your story about the hymn is, according to the tubes, right on. Apparently I was thinking of another hymn. Doug,
No worries…just making fun of myself! I am glad to hear, however, of your strong advocacy for women in ministry leadership. I believe likewise and from what I’ve been able to find in the Bible there’s nothing Scriptural that should have me thinking or believing otherwise.

And your story about the hymn is, according to the tubes, right on. Apparently I was thinking of another hymn.

I hope you didn't see my previous comment as in anyway diminishing the contributions of women. Also, I am interested in the story of this hymn that you know. I got my information from a book called "The Complete Book of Hymns." Maybe it is not so complete.

She was an important figure in the Pietist movement that sought to bring renewal to the Lutheran church in Germany. It is interesting to me the number of female hymn writers there were in an era when women did not have much influence in the church. Perhaps it was the only way for them to use their gifts and call.

It always reminds me that nothing is impossible for God. Does your church podcast, I would love to hear his take on some of these songs.
