Equal Calling

The research, teaching, and ministry of three Wooster alumnae reveal a deeper understanding of women's role in Christianity

As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
I CORINTHIANS 43

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
GALATIANS 3:28
