Again, is should reshape how we think about first-centruy christianity when we consider that the only named person we know from the Laodicean community is a woma, Nympha. This offers yet another reminder that ministry leadership in the apostolic period was not a man's job. People. both women and men, of skill and gifting,...were called on the care for the poeple of God in Jesus Christ ♥♥♥♥♥

Jesus empowered women♥ ....Ignoring customs that forbade women from studying the Torah, Jesus taught women, such as Mary of Bethany, whom he honored for choosing to learn rather than just serve.....♥
