I agree...I came as a single girl under my pastor's covering....now have my husband's covering.....

Among evangelicals there is a growing movement that teaches all people in the church need to be properly "covered" by God’s "delegated authority" in the church. As far as I'm concerned there only one that "covers" and that's the Lord Jesus Christ. This "covering-issue" has been used and misused in the church, mostly because of "man" going on a power trip and wanting to have all final authority on whatever happens within church circles. I am talking about the "man or men" in three pieces suites in ivory tower head offices wanting to be in total control about everything, replacing the works of the Holy Spirit.

Administrators, you can delete my membership. I thought this was Apostolic Friends Forum, I did not know this was Apostate Friends Forum. I have never seen this mentality on display but among backsliders.

All I mean by covering is I had my pastor's permission

If the Holy Spirit tells you to preach, you should preach.
Male or female, makes no difference.

No pastor should put a stop to that in the name of something called "covering".

Well, I deeply appreciate having the same pastor for many many years...He is up in years today but was just a young person pastoring his first church when my family came to the Lord. I think I may have been in the 2nd grade but he and his wife were probably in their very early 20's...I grew up under his minstry and under the ministry of the Holmes. Both of them prayed over me as a young girl...
I got old on the mission field....lol...came in 68...a long time ago....
My Pastor has never been overbearing or demanding. He has always been a wonderful man of God. More a father like figure and his wife a true mother...So glad for people like them.
I have lived long enough to see a lot of people hurt by so called men of God that are harsh, demanding and try to lord over people wanting to know their every move...
I have been blessed...so blessed...
