Jesus, Champion for Women

For centuries, committed Christians have disagreed on the role of men and women in the church. Regarding women specifically, those on the egalitarian side of the discussion believe that women are free to pursue any avenue of leadership and service as men-including the roles of pastor and elder. Those on the complementarian side believe, in varying degrees, that women are equal to men, but that there are certain roles in the church that are reserved only for men.
