Abstract

The role of women in the church has been debated within the Baptist denomination for decades. It is not a new question, nor does there appear to be a clear, united resolution. In some discussions, there has been more heat than light. The Baptist churches are in a state of transition. However, in the meantime, how does a woman who claims the doctrine of Baptists as her own respond authentically to her faith when the institutions of that faith erect barriers to her? How does she personally interpret her faith in a meaningful way? What avenues of ministry are open to her? What impact does her ministry have on the work and theology of her denomination? What is the experience of a Baptist woman who is called to minister professionally? What has been the response of Baptists to her ministry? This project evaluates the steps and role a Baptist pastor and moderator of the Northern Virginia (NOVA) Baptist Association, namely Rev. Dr. Kenny Smith, performed during his four-year tenure that led to women pastors and ministers to have full participation, including ordination, in the Association.
