Grace, Tolerance, & Forgiveness
Women and Leadership (Revised Edition) describes the emergence of the Baptist Convention of South Africa (BCSA) as a distinct denomination since 1987 and it's developing sense of self-identity.
The aims of this study are to establish the nature and extent to which South African Baptists have suppressed the abilities and roles of women church leadership, to uncover through the stories and experiences of women and and men in the Baptist Union of South Africa (BUSA) and in the Baptist Convention of South Africa (BCSA) the attitudes and practices of local Baptist churches toward women in leadership, to propose the value of women in leadership by describing the significance of the full embrace of women in church leadership for the BCSA and finally, to seek to propose a strategy for the BCSA to bring to reality women's liberation and church transformation.
