Well the Christian story these last 2,000 years has not always been positive. There have been opportunities and many of them have been missed, in terms of promoting women. I think sometimes Christians have instead reinforced a hierarchy of men and women, and have prevented women from full flourishing. But I think the gospel, in its fullest, does allow both women and men to reach their potential, and to have leadership possibilities within the community.
