“Preachers of Detroit,” the Midwest spinoff of the controversial and popular “Preachers of L.A.” reality show, has put front and center in its early episodes the debate about what roles women are permitted to hold in the church.
Christians remain divided over what perimeters they believe the Bible lays out for women called to ministry.
Some believers point to passages like 1 Timothy 3:2, which states that a bishop, or overseer, is to be “faithful to his wife …” — indicating that a Christian holding that position must be male.
However, others argue that there’s biblical support that leadership roles in the church are not restricted by gender, as evidenced by early church figures such as Junia, an apostle, and Phoebe, a deacon — based on the particular translation of the texts where these women are mentioned.
