Grace, Tolerance, & Forgiveness
Women and Leadership (Revised Edition) describes the emergence of the Baptist Convention of South Africa (BCSA) as a distinct denomination since 1987 and it's developing sense of self-identity.
The aims of this study are to establish the nature and extent to which South African Baptists have suppressed the abilities and roles of women church leadership, to uncover through the stories and experiences of women and and men in the Baptist Union of South Africa (BUSA) and in the Baptist Convention of South Africa (BCSA) the attitudes and practices of local Baptist churches toward women in leadership, to propose the value of women in leadership by describing the significance of the full embrace of women in church leadership for the BCSA and finally, to seek to propose a strategy for the BCSA to bring to reality women's liberation and church transformation.

— Desmond Hoffmeister, Executive Director, Global Prophetic Network, American Baptist Seminary of the WestNelson Hayashida has demonstrated how skilled people can facilitate the liberation process for others. This book exposes the gap between carefully crafted statements affirming women and the reality of reluctant submission to women in leadership. We hear the voices of women themselves. This book is academically sound and characterized by excellence based on sound methodology. The questions raised, the voices heard, and the potential corrective measures are a vital contribution to an important conversation within the church community. While this book is mainly focused on the Baptist church in South Africa, it presents many possibilities for stimulating debates and policy and experiential changes in other faith communities.
