The Biblical Role of the Pastor's wife - South African Theological ...

2.4.8 To what extent is the church aware of your role in the church?
22B5q: Fully aware. Because the church is new, we have been able to teach
on everything the church needs to know, including my role. People know that I
have filled in where necessary but am giving away many of my responsibilities
as and when people are available to take over these functions.
23B3w: I have no idea.
34D5p: I find that the church is becoming more aware of our need for private
time together. I find it begins with the ministry leaders, if they are doing their
jobs and respecting our private lives then the rest of the congregation will too.
Everyone knows who I am and what I do in the church.
12B1s: Little to not at all.
22B3q: I think most women are aware of my ministry in the church, although I
am very limited as to what I can do in the church because of other
commitments.
23C2y: The church knows who I am and where I stand on matters of
involvement in the church. There is a common understanding that I am a
‘normal’ person and this reduces any improper expectations of my behaviour
or responsibilities.
12B5t: They are aware that I am the wife of the pastor and would like me to
be more involved but I am choosing not to be right now with the way my life is
right now.
44D3w: Not aware at all.
12B4z: They know about our day off. It is in the notices. I am not very
involved and I don’t think people know what I do.
