Abstract
The leadership role of women is a controversial theme in
contemporary African Christianity. This paper is an
overview of the place of women in Nigerian Pentecostal
churches. Particular attention is paid to the leading role of
selected women in the African Indigenous Pentecostal
churches and the Neo-Pentecostal churches, in contrast to
the subjective status of women in most Classical
Pentecostal churches in the country. The paper highlights
the contributory roles of some women leaders in Nigerian
Pentecostal churches and also reveals the extent to which
women are marginalised in some circles. Reasons for this
are suggested, along with possible solutions.
