Question
what versa says about woman clothes and leader ,or preachering in church

Answer
Hi Roger,

An interesting question! There are different views on this, my own personal view is that within reason it does not really matter, God will see you for what you are not for how you are dressed.If it was the case that all had to wear best clothes etc, that would mean those that were poor and could not afford such attire would not be able to attend church and this could never be right, as the Lord and the church is open to all!

Women should obviously dress appropriately and sensibly by wearing suitable but comfortable clothing, by this I mean clothing that is not at all revealing, ensuring that it is not offensive to any one.

I do not see any problems with women leading or preaching in church, in my church we often have guest speakers that are women, they have just as much knowledge and can sometimes relate more to older folk.

I hope I this to be ok.


God Bless

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

Publications
My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

Education/Credentials
I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
