I noted with interest, in the Feb. 6 issue of the Herald, the listing of churches participating in the Martha Stearns Marshall Month of Preaching by having a woman preach during the month of February. I salute all 19 Mid-Atlantic churches listed, but I was sorry to see that only seven Virginia churches were listed, including just one, Tabernacle Baptist, in Richmond. All 12 of the other churches were in North Carolina.
Before the month is out, perhaps other Virginia churches will take the opportunity to honor Baptist Women in Ministry by inviting a woman minister to proclaim the good news from the pulpit.
