Abstract
"It is one thing to hold office. It is another to be recognised and accepted. One of my contacts who has held office within an Association had previously served in her local church as secretary. While she is full of praise for the encouragement and support of the men, at all levels, in the Association, she was far from happy with the treatment she received in the otherwise male diaconate within her own church. There was strong opposition to her appointment, which was recorded in the minutes, and a general lack of cooperation and respect until she had proved to the men that she could do the job. She was in post but was neither recognised nor accepted. In that atmosphere she needed all the courage and determination she could muster to keep going"
