Women Can Do That? I just got through reading a narrative between Rubel B. and Wes discussing the controversial role of women in the church. I have to admit, just the thought of getting up in front of a bible school class where I attend worship and announcing to the audience this particular topic makes me nervous. After reading the discussion, I was enlightened by what I learned. First of all, both men discussed the topic with a sense of humility, simply seeking truth. Both agreed they differed with each other and were not the final say-so on the topic. I appreciate the way they approached the topic citing scripture which seemed to support servant leadership for both male and female and emphasizing that neither male nor female should "lord" over each other in carrying out responsibilities either. If nothing else happens, my neurons and syntax has been tickled causing me to be more open-minded to church issues that tend to divide us. Women DO have a role in the kingdom and gender will have nothing to do with salvation come judgement day. More study to come, at least on my part. If you want to read the same dialogue, get in touch with Mr. Shelly or David U and I'm sure they could forward a copy of it to you.
