The contribution of Spirit empowered women at the formative stage of the Pentecostal movement and beyond is to be celebrated by us all. Indeed, our author's main thesis is that Pentecostal revival, grounded in the outpouring of the Spirit upon male and female, has both a concrete and metaphorical connection to the empowerment of women. The argument follows then that movements that restrict the ministry of women (whether intentionally or not) are possibly setting themselves up for stagnation and decline."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderEmpoweringPentecostalWomenleadershiptheologyCommunity ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticPractical theology and theological educationArticle
