As Merelyn Webber was growing up, she could see the barriers women faced if they wanted to undertake any leadership roles at her church. She has failed to see any remarkable progress since that time. Webber aims to present valid points in her new publishing debut.

In “Head of the House: Is it a Sin for Women to Lead?”, Webber provides a well-researched read addressing a woman’s critique of the theological and social patriarchy. Webber structured the book to help women understand what God and his word have to say about what he intended their roles in society to be.

She contends that the issue of equal opportunity for women and men to rule needs to be examined, soberly, by all, and not left to the “experts” to decide.

“Triune God is not hierarchical, therefore humankind—made in his image, should not be hierarchical either,” Webber said.

The focus of this book is for Webber to address the question in her title: “Is it a sin for women to lead?” She uses examples of exemplary women, and the hardships women endured for gender reconciliation and revisiting God’s original intention in Eden. Her approach is personal and inquisitive.

“My desire is to share what I have learned with others who also might be struggling,” Webber said.
