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.

• Let's hear from you! How can men help advocate and make space for women in ministry and leadership? Have you experienced a man (or men) being supportive and helpful of women seeking a ministry or leadership role? What do you recommend men do more of or less of to come alongside of women?

• Post your response by Wednesday. (At least 100 words.) 

• Respond to at least two classmates by Saturday. Give full sentence, thoughtful responses. Feel free to ask questions for greater clarity. Encourage one another. Be willing to listen to different opinions.

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.
