Let us have an open and sincere dialogue regarding this matter.
I have had the opportunity to attend numerous "pentecostal" churches, where I have consistently noticed that the pastor's wife holds a position as a minister as well.
She not only serves as a minister but also assumes the role of the second in command and the spiritual mother of the church.
In addition to my experiences in pentecostal churches, I have also attended the Anglican church on a few occasions.
The wives of the Reverends, Deacons, and others are not visible on the altar. They do not necessarily hold leadership positions in the women's department of the church. Their presence is merely incidental. They share seats with other members of the church and it would require an introduction for one to know they are the vices of the presiding priests. The service would begin and end without their wives speaking.
I am currently contemplating whether it is feasible for a church to have a pastor and a wife who is content with being a regular member, rather than assuming a prominent role as a mummy GO.
In my belief, the call to ministry is a personal and individual relationship with God, not something that is transmitted sêxually. However, it seems that when God calls these pastors, they subsequently call their wives, creating a partnership in their ministry business.
Check, almost every mummy GO is the wife of Daddy GO.
