Methodist Church inducts first female Presiding Bishop via SABCNewsOnline

Methodist Church of Southern Africa

has rewritten history by inducting its first female Presiding Bishop. Reverend Purity Malinga takes over the reins from Bishop Zipokuhle Siwa, after he served three terms. Malinga says the church has to change its patriarchal views. Her induction comes just months after Reverend Vukile Mehana’s bigoted comments about women priests.The KwaZulu-Natal born Malinga entered the ministry in 1981.“We give thanks to the Methodist people for hearing the groans, who long for us to be human together, breaking all barriers that hinder our life of following.

“When he created men and women in God’s image, God had envisioned a humanity holding hands, doing and fulfilling God’s wishes. However, the people of the church and world have disobeyed God and patriarchy has become the system – a system that excludes, oppresses, ignores those of the female gender and so for me, today is the fulfillment of the will of God”“I stand here not as a tool or a sign to absolve the prevailing sexism that exists in the church. We still need to work hard on that.
