Baptist Women in ministry...
is not an oxymoron.

Christ calls ALL people to minister in the world -- clergy and layperson, male and female.

She said she wished to be a shrub
And sit in silence, lost, obscure
In some dim woods where no one ever comes
And she could muse and watch the quiet winds go by.

But God, who long ago observed a brambled bush,
Looked at her once among the ferns.
God looked but once: the winds became a storm,
And now she burns, she burns!
