Baptist women, called to communicate, hold key roles

From all appearances the SBC will eventually join the apostate Methodists and the PC(USA) in ordaining women pastors.

(Margaret Colson – BP News)  Just as Jesus affirmed first-century women, calling them to confess Him as Lord and tell the good news of the Gospel, He continues to call women in the 21st century to communicate His story to the world.

From a national entity to a children’s home, and from a state newspaper to a seminary campus, four women — Carol Pipes of LifeWay Christian Resources, Stella Prather of Arkansas Baptist Children’s Homes and Family Ministries, Jennifer Rash of The Alabama Baptist and Amy Whitfield of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary — are among numerous women in key Southern Baptist communications roles.
