Women have been involved in Christian ministry since the beginning of Christianity. It has decreased and increased based on the acceptance of the environment. The two articles addressed in this essay document the rise of women ministers in the Holiness movement as well as the decline of women in the modern Pentecostal movement. In response to this decline in the number of women in ministry, Courtney Stewart provided points that the UPCI should address to correct the situation. In Holy Boldness Women Preachers' Autobiographies and the Sanctified Self, the history of women in ministry is addressed. The passage provided begins by discussing the pioneers of women ministers: the Wesleyan/Holiness groups. It was in the Holiness movement of the late 19th century that women preachers first began to emerge publicly. The primary impulse for these women was the second work of grace, sanctification. According to several Holiness women (such as Julia Foote and Amanda Smith), they were freed from fear and doubt when they were sanctified. It was also during this time that most women were called to preach. Sanctification empowered them to be public witnesses of Christ. Many of these women were licensed with Holiness organizations. However, there were also many who could not receive ordination or licensure from their organizations due to opposition to women in ministry. During that time period, women were thought to have a specific “sphere”. Women were supposed to work at home with their children, not preach. Most women preachers rejected this idea of ​​“women's work.” Some even rejected the idea that the husband should be the head of the house. This did not mean that those women who were mothers were irresponsible or negligent. In fact, many of the paper means to attract women to become licensed, there would be a dramatic increase in licensed women within the organization. The need for female preachers is evident. There is a niche for women in ministry. However, the UPCI climate must change before an upward shift in the number of licenses occurs. There are things that the organization must address (political issues, manual formulation, etc.) before the climate can change. In fact it seems that there are not enough people who care about the issue. Maybe the right people don't care or those who care aren't making their voices heard. In any case, there is a clear need for women in ministry. There are too many women who teach Sunday school who have a calling from God in their life to evangelize or pastor. God calls without regard to age or gender, and it is time for all to recognize this.
