One of the things that
distinguishes the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) from
other Presbyterian denominations is its willingness to
ordain women to positions of leadership. There is
a biblical basis for this. Phoebe was a deaconess;
Lydia had a church meet in her home and was the first
baptized convert in all of Europe; Deborah in the Old
Testament was a judge and ruler; Isaiah's wife and
Huldah were prophetesses; In the New Testament Anna was
a prophetess. Philip had four daughters who were also
prophetesses (Acts 21:9). The New Testament speaks
of the time being fulfilled when both sons and daughters
shall prophecy= speaking forth God's Word (Acts 2:17).
Certainly, the women told the first good news about the
resurrection of Christ. In the early history of
the Church, women played an important leadership role
(see picture below). The PCUSA believes if the
Holy Spirit gives leadership gifts to a woman, and the
church wishes to call a woman, they have the right to
answer the call of the Spirit.
