Sculark, Paula White, Cindy Trimm, and Joyce Meyer go forth in ministry. But not everyone agrees that they
should.
A Nashville pastor is in scorching hot water with his denomination after licensing multiple women in his
congregation.
According to Nashville News Channel 5, Pastor Frank Stevenson of St. Luke’s Primitive Baptist Church is
bucking more than 100 years of tradition with his perceived radical actions. In his denomination, women are not
permitted to be licensed leaders in the church. Thus, he is defying the laws of his organization.
The blowup is causing some to question whether it is a primitive notion—no pun intended—that women should
not be given authority by the church to lead.
Stevenson apparently thinks so and consequently, has chosen to overturn tradition, knowing full well he would
receive major backlash.
