Abstract

The study seeks to affirm women's rightful roles in Chinese Christian ministry. The author examines the biblical teachings and female characters in the scriptures to establish the theology that God intended women to be full and equal partners to their male counterparts. A case study was conducted on Evangelical Formosan Church with its 34 local churches in North America. The finding reveals that great disparity exists between ideology and reality. The former proclaims equality and the latter succumbs to the patriarchal tradition. The female gender must climb a long and uphill path before attaining their God-given stature. To change the status quo, the author proposes recommendations to theological education organizations, churches, and female clergies.
