Osborne was an old-line classical Pentecostal. And women were frequently at the helm of Pentecostal groups. (like Amy Semple McPherson or Kathryn Kuhlman) His might be a good look at a historical perspective (1950s?) on the issue.

I haven't heard anyone mention Amy Semple McPherson in a long while. She was born and raised just 10 miles from here, in the little town of Salford Ontario.

Yes, Amy Semple McPherson is an interesting woman to study. If you believe her story, she was like Jonah, forced to minister, even with the adversity of divorce, she had quite a ministry. Aimee Semple McPherson

The idea women can't be ministers or priests has never set will with me, especially because Jesus didn't seem to have a problem with women. Even when I went to churches that taught that only men could be priests, it was not something I really accepted except as a custom, it was not some kind of comment on the ordering of the universe.

A Christian’s mind is His, who in the form of God He didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped. But in being a humble servant He exemplified the high position God has exalted Him to. Being equally yoked to Him is the position to be in so as not to be unequally yoked.
