Paul’s instructions in 1 Timothy 2:9–15 are rooted in God’s creation order rather than cultural chauvinism. They apply universally to the church in all times and places. Videira-Soengas urges the Spanish church to affirm Scripture’s design for distinct yet complementary roles for men and women in ministry.

Where did feminism in the church in Spain come from? Spanish feminism first took shape in opposition to Franco’s patriarchal regime, and its modern popular form pressures Spanish evangelicals to adopt unbiblical views on women in ministry. But however the cultural pushes against God’s design, the church must hold firmly to God’s truth.
