Professor Carla DuBose USSO 10100 October 5th 2012 In her book titled “The Sovereignty and Goodness of God” Mary Rowlandson recounts the experiences of her being held hostage for a period of eleven weeks by Native Americans. Mary Rowlandson was the wife of a Puritan minister so she was, to a degree, a public figure prior to her captivity. While writing her experiences in paper Mrs. Rowlandson had to ensure that her narrative would carry on the teachings of both her husband and of her religious community. It is, however, important to remark that women during mid-17th century New England had a very restricted role within society, therefore, for her narrative to be accepted it had to include a central theme that proved that it was God’s will that she was kidnapped and released. Mary Rowlandson was a woman who was held captive and lived in the wilderness for almost three months, at times with no food to nurture her or with no shelter to shield her from the outdoors.

Did the creator of the universe create the heavens, seas, humans, and the sun in six days? When I was younger, these stories weren’t just stories but factual history to me. But I went through a phase of total disbelief and rejection of anything that is Catholic. One time, my mom urged me to go with her to a Catholic seminar where this special group of Catholic nuns and priest only visit San Jose once in a while. It wasn’t mass but I vaguely remember it was more of a long, intense session of prayer.
In Acts 6, the deacons were initially commissioned to handle the care of widows in the church. Men were chosen who were of “good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom (v. 3).” Elders, or presbyters, were a governing group within a church. Paul told Titus to appoint elders in the churches of every city and that such men were to be “blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination (Titus 1:5,6).” Elders provided organizational leadership in local churches. The role of women in the early church was indeed significant. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, refers to several women who were servants of the Lord.
