    The digital essay, “Reimagining a Woman’s Role in the Church: An Open Letter,” is the best and most thorough coverage of this topic I have ever read and unbelievably helpful and totally conveying the Spirit of Christ and the Word of God in a spirit of gentleness. Thank you, Frank. I will be sharing this.

    Having participated in the Deeper Life Conference in Orlando last year, I now understand why your honoring of the women present as “sisters in Christ” in respect to the discussions around the tables affected me so deeply to the point of tears, and even now again in retrospect. It was more than “gentlemanliness;” it reflected how Jesus Himself regards the women He came to redeem and set free in His kingdom.
