Spend some time sharing your thoughts based on the questions below. Keep in mind that at Northeastern Seminary one of our core values is being a respect-filled community so respond to each other with grace and wisdom.

• How does the motivation of an urgency to see all hands on deck effect our impact on the work of the kingdom?
• How has ministry been different or difficult for you because of your gender?
• Even though you consider yourself a champion of women in ministry where are your blind spots?
• What do you still have to learn about co-laboring well for the good of the church?

We affirm and learn from each person in our richly-diverse community of faith, regardless of such distinctives as denominational affiliation, ethnicity, gender, or age. As you read and consider a response to each other please keep this value in mind. We know that discernment happens in community, that struggling with questions doesn't always entail a crisis of faith, and that we all benefit from a gracious discussion on the non-essentials to our faith.
