A fresco painting of Phoebe, a leader commended by Paul (Romans 16)
from Damien Casey’s research into Women Celebrants in the Early Church

It was a circuitous route which led me to this (which I think started at MomPriest’s blog and by sidebar links through many other blogs…)

It’s an address by NT Wright on Women’s Service in the Church: The Biblical Basis. You’ll find it HERE…

At the very least, it’s good stuff. 🙂
