Women in Religion


Religion has existed for as long as man has.  Both men,  and women believed in a
superior being to explain the existence of life.  Now with the different
varieties of religions,  men and women play different roles that are permitted

Women receive this calling just like men,  but because women have been denied
that privilege for so many years,  they have no choice,  but to serve only
between the boundaries that have been given to them. Since many churches have
finally given in to allowing women into the ministry,  they now believe that God
does not have a gender,  and there are a number of ways God can be addressed
