Simply Church - The Blog of Felicity Dale

5 activities women can do

There are a number of activities that have traditionally been limited to men. However, I find no scriptural warrant for not including women in them: Baptism: this is traditionally done by the pastor. When baptism is delayed so that it can be performed by a special person, it slows the growth of any disciple making [...]

Heroines of the faith: Catherine Booth

“… The “unjustifiable application” of Paul’s advice, “ ‘Let your women keep silence in the Churches,’ has resulted in more loss to the Church, evil to the world, and dishonor to God, than any of [its] errors.” From a pamphlet written by Catherine Booth in 1859. Catherine Booth was born Catherine Mumford in England in [...]

Can Christians show the world how to handle escalating medical costs?

If the "kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ" then you and I have to take the rule of Jesus out into the world around us.  Isn't the present expression of the kingdom of God wherever we see the uncontested rule of Jesus through his people?  For years I have been challenged by what the medical world would look like if it was being run by Jesus.  A simplistic answer might be that Jesus would just heal everybody.  But that has not been my experience.  I…
