Paul gives a long list of greetings in Romans 16:1-16. Wright suggests the reasons for such a list is because Paul doesn\u2019t want to create new divisions \u2014 so he mentions all the house churches he knows.
\nHe begins with Phoebe. She\u2019s a \u201cdeacon,\u201d not a \u201cdeaconness\u201d or just a \u201cservant.\u201d She\u2019s a leader; she\u2019s a \u201csister.\u201d And she\u2019s a \u201cbenefactor.\u201d Which means she was a significant woman leader of the church outside Corinth, in Cenchreae. She\u2019s got the letter, according to Wright.
\nSince we\u2019ve been doing some posts on women in ministry, we might have some who have some thoughts about Phoebe.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
