• Jesus treated women as equals to men.
• His encounter with the Canaanite woman shows he does not regard them as unintelligent or lacking in faith.
• At the anointing in Bethany, Jesus stood up for the woman, despite the criticism of the disciples, and praised her understanding.
• In many churches, women do not play leadership roles, such as preaching or leading sacramental worship, so it could be argued they could learn from the example of Jesus.
On the other hand:
• It could be argued that although Jesus was not prejudiced towards women, he still followed the convention of his day by only having men as his closest followers.
• This could be taken to mean that although women are important in the church, they have a different role to play to men.
• Some might argue that women do already have an important role in the church and are equal to men.
