I know it's shocking and inconvenient. I know our church "fathers" didn't want it either; but:

(Sorry. Well, not really, but I do understand that it may hurt when reality hits you over your head...)

Thus far I've gotten the "Isn't she so cute, pretending to be a little pastor!" patronizing kind of reaction. Gag me. But over time, in relationships with specific pastors and lay people, respect has grown. Not full acceptance, but a recognition of giftedness and some sort of call.
