    One of the requirements was at least 15 years senior pastor experience I believe, the requirements were made public. She didn't qualify off that one requirement alone.

    Why she didn't just leave it in God's hands she went to the courts. What happened to the faith?

      Because she knows that she's dead wrong and is going against God's word.

      The same reason we have a judicial systems that stands on the shoulders of Christ. She did the right thing! Sexism and classism has no room in the house of prayer.

      Had we just left it in God’s hands we’d still be in slavery. God requires us to fight for justice.

    Why would you want to be where the people don’t want you to be?

    I’m all for equal rights but she was kinda reaching. Tried pull a power play but corporate tactics don’t work in church like that. She was already a minister but wanted to be top dog

    They don't know when the new pastor going to be butts was pastor for almost 40 years. I have known her for 18 years. She was youth minister at abyssinian. Then she left around the time I left ironically. She is a good pastor but I do think has to be more to this than everyone is saying

    How are you suing a church for not making you the pastor, when they haven't officially called one yet? Like do you really think after suing them, the members are going to want you as their pastor, on top of paying you damages?! This is stupid. They didn't want you as their pastor; suck it up.

      It’s obvious they told her up front she’s not getting the position

    Is she a follower of Christ, or just a theologian? Not a good look... Why would a true believer want to be led by her? I wouldn't.

      Well, your bashing her with out her hearing her side? Men in any power can be quite overbearing, especially if we are talented. They Absolutely don't like competition with a woman

    Either she doesn’t read or respect the Bible. How can you be the head of a institution whose foundation you don’t know or respect 😢😂no 👎

    1 Corinthians
    14:34-35
    [34] Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
    [35 ]And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
    She went to theology school and learned and understands NOTHING! She is out of order for even applying to for the position! She doesn't obey what The Holy Scriptures say, she has a spirit of Jezebel, this church made the right choice!! Taking the matters of ELOHIM and allowing the heathens to help you force your way into a position that is nit meant for you is just cause for repentance!!!
