Summary, etc. | This research discusses the role of the pastor’s wife in the local church, with special emphasis on wives living in Somerset West, Western Cape. Ten pastors’ wives from a variety of churches in Somerset West town were interviewed to determine the situation praxis. Each wife interviewed shared with regard to her experience as a pastor’s wife, expected role within the church and current life situation. A biblical investigation was undertaken to establish biblical directives for the pastor’s wife and the local church with regard to her role. Focus was placed on her distinctiveness as a uniquely created woman, her design as a wife or help meet and her identity as a child of God. Examination of 1 Timothy 3:11 and Titus 2 revealed responsibilities of those women called to serve in the church, whilst Proverbs 31 was examined to determine qualities belonging to the ideal wife. A comparison of the situation praxis and biblical model revealed that pastors’ wives understood their role as wives but lacked confidence with regard to their specific role in the church. Evidence suggested that wives did not have sufficient support of friends or congregational members, nor focused education or training. Most wives were very happy in their role as a pastor’s wife and undoubtedly supportive of their husband and his ministry. Recommendations were made to implement programmes within the church to create awareness of wives’ needs and identify ways in which to support wives and their families. Further recommendations were made to provide wives with better access to resources for self-directed learning where necessary. |
