Just a question I have always had, but never known the answer. I'm not coming to argue like most or put down whomever uses this term/title and I'm hoping this doesn't turn into a huge argumentive discussion; I just want to know where did the term 'First Lady' come from as a name for a pastor's wife? Why is it used? And what if the pastor was married once before (past life, etc.), could his current wife use 'First Lady'?
Thanks, but what's the history of it being used in the church?
