God Calls Men?

Re The Gender Imbalance, January
Why are only a quarter of our ministers female? It’s a fair question, but this should be addressed to God Himself. Are not all ministers called by God to the congregation?

The initial question shows a bias, by using the word “only.” Why should they be in the same proportion? It is God who does the calling. Women and men are already equal in our church; if not, in any given congregation, then this needs to be identified and addressed. But it serves no purpose for us to assume that the minister calls should be proportional to the ratio of the gender of the candidates. This is up to God.
