Women should play larger role in church affairs says Mile Barrot

At the World Council of Churches gathering in Evanston Illinois Mile Barrot urges wider female participation in church leadership arguing women could be ideal ministers and peacemakers. She notes 163 denominations are represented but only 15 of 600 delegates are women and questions why unity and common approach to God are hindered by many factions. The piece compares denominational sprawl to a doctor’s crowded consultation and urges using religion as the universal extinguisher against a world on fire.
