Systems of power universally limit power and opportunity for women. Like other systems, churches everywhere are only beginning to tackle the systemic reasons for genderism. Some, of both genders, having been helped by some church workers and wise ones in their communities, will have been moved towards understanding and action. Such individual actions are commendable but systemic change in power is required on a very large scale that most have not imagined yet. It will take generations for substantive change, and it could come faster in developing countries, as women and men mobilize there.
