Can a woman take the role of Pastor in the Church?

Perhaps this century is the century of feminism. Even in India, we hear again and again about “Women’s Empowerment.” In America, we have seen the “Me Too” movement going very wild. Sad to say, even an influential denominational leader like Paige Patterson was hunted down by this “Me Too” movement.
Christians are called neither to be feminist nor to be chauvinist. God created us in His image, male and female. We have different roles as man and woman of God. It is an issue of “Role” and not “Competence.”
Christians are called not to be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by the word of God. We do not want to dictate our life by culture, but by Scriptures.
