BWA General Council Resolution 1984.3

While we acknowledge that there are strong cultural and theological differences about the role of women in the church, we wish to affirm the teaching of Galatians 3:28 that in Christ, male and female are equal.

We encourage the churches to affirm this truth in the life and thereby reflect integrity in our Christian witness.
