How does Womens Ministries relate to the feminist movement?
It really does not. Both are concerned for women and are against sexism, but the feminist movement has earned a bad name because of some of its stands and tactics. Many feel that feminism isn’t even in touch with the real needs of women in the twenty-first century, needs to address issues such as prostitution, sex slavery, illiteracy, abortion, AIDS, poverty, etcetera. Women’s Ministries, however, is based on the fact that God created women and values and gifts them just as He does men. Women’s Ministries desires that women have the opportunity to use their gifts and fully participate in the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It therefore seeks to address all the needs of women within a biblically based value system.
