I kind of disagree. I feel that often the woman's perspective of the whole
situation is needed. For example...if a woman councils with the
pastor....he might want to discuss this with his wife, cause she sees the
situation from the woman's point of view....moreover, whenever a woman
coucils with the pastor, it is customary in my church that the pastor is
accompanied by his wife while counceling....so no false thoughts might
arise in the congregation...especially if there is more than one
councelling session with that same woman. Let not your good be evil spoken
off. And as far as I see it...the pastor and the pastor's wife are a
team....because....she is often asked church things, she takes care of the
women in the church, comforting them, giving advice, organizing women's
activities and so on...so I would say...she helps her husband in the church
too. God bless. Doris
