Deborah had authority over men. Men, even priests, came to her for a word from the Lord. She judged ALL of Israel....ALL included the men too.

Was she the exception or the Rule ?
was it because there was not a Man ?
Why did Jesus only pick Men?

I believe Women can have authority in the secular world but as far as spiritual headship ?? can you show me an example of a woman pastor or Bishop in the bible ?

Having said that, I do think that the UPC should use more women and have more women preach and speak. and YES! in the general services! NOT just at the ladies day. I have no problem with women in ministry, just not in headship over a church.
