Reformed Church in America

1989 marks the tenth anniversary of the action of the General Synod to approve the ordination of women as ministers of the Word in the Reformed Church in America. It is the sixteenth anniversary of the ordination of the first woman to the office of the minister of the Word in our denomination. Anniversaries are occasions for remembering, refreshing our memories, and anticipating the future. The goal of full participation for women in the life of the church is a concern which needs urgently to be addressed. This article will reflect on the evolving involvement of women in the ministry of the Reformed Church in America, assess the present situation, and consider some future directions.
