"Let My people go and serve Me regardless of sex" is the ultimate appeal
from God. Unfortunately, some cultural practices and wrong
interpretations of the Bible have excluded some, especially women, from
attaining key leadership roles. Culturally, women are considered second
class and men's property, source of evil and "weaker vessels." A wrong
interpretation of the scriptures has sidelined women from obtaining
decision making positions. This is the result of what may be called, "a
One-Dimensional Approach," and a recommendation is made to "re-read" the
biblical texts as well as Chewa culture and the history of the synod
with a "Multi-Dimensional Approach" in which the literary,
theological-rhetorical and historical-cultural aspects are all
considered, because this approach liberates the oppressed and the
marginalized.
