Women have the same privileges and opportunities as men, given the New Testament.

There is a gift of the Holy Spirit that is given to both men and women in the New Testament. This is what makes the New Testament a New Testament rather than the Old Testament, in which women did not have such privileges.

Our calling is not primarily to be holy women, but to work for God and for others with Him.
