What Women Want: Pentecostal Women Ministers Speak For Themselves

by Kimberly Ervin Alexander, James P. Bowers

Pentecostal women ministers have been “silenced” in official conversations about their place in church leadership. What do women ministers believe about family life? Have they been influenced by liberal feminism? Do they really want to be equal ministry leaders with men? What Women Want answers these questions in a first ever empirical study that paints a portrait of what it’s like to be a Pentecostal woman minister.

Survey of CoG women and men leaders as a response to the church bishop's vote against ordaining women as bishops (though they do allow women pastors).
Interesting perspectives. Bottom line is women aren't trying to be feminist or to take men's place. They are wanting the freedom to be the females who God made them to be and live out their callings to leadership just as men do.
