520 |a Leadership in the ministry of the church has been a debatable subject in terms of ability, merit, gender and so on. More so now as the question of leadership in the church has been engendered by women motivated by equality, dignity and integrity. This article endeavours to set the matter in perspective taking cues from the biblical, traditional, cultural and historical roots. In the past, various views on Women in Ministry or Women in Leadership in the church have been grouped under the Complementary camp and the Egalitarian camp. There have been many discussions and contributions by scholars from both camps. In this article, I propose an 'Interdependent View on Women in Leadership.' This view argues that husband is the leader of the family, and this hierarchy is transcultural. In the church, women can teach, preach, and be ordained, if they have the calling, character, and corresponding spiritual gifts recognized by the church. The same principle applies to male ministers. The idea of interdependence between male and female is drawn from 1 Corinthians 11:11, "In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman" (NIV). Rather than striving for a consensus between the Complementary and Egalitarian positions, it may be better to have more views on Women in Leadership, so that discussions on the topic can go beyond the diametrical exchanges between the two camps, into a multitude of thoughts and ideas that can enrich each other's understanding. Even though different scholars, pastors, churches, and Christian organizations may have different views on Women in Leadership, we can still respect each other's conviction and labor together or separately for the gospel, when we have the Great Commandment and the Great Commission in focus in our Christian ministry.
