"First Lady"
Does anyone's assembly use this term to refer to the pastor's wife?
If there is a first lady, who is the "Last Lady"?
Will the first not be last one day? Is the "First Lady" calling herself that so that she may be humbled for all eternity?
Does this exalting of oneself while here on earth, and in the church, sort of perpetuate the idea of the "ministry" and the "ministry's family" being of the "spiritual upper class/caste", and the others being below? Possibly even putting the saints as servants to the "ministry" (which, to minister is meant as "to serve")?
Lastly, why would a term the Gentiles use, "First Lady" for the wife of the President of the United States, be used as a title for a pastor's wife, when we are not supposed to be as the Gentiles in our form of leadership?
I'm looking forward to a good dialoge, where we can discuss this tradition that had developed.
