Adventures In Mercy [Molleth] > No Longer Quivering: Carnival Nov. 1-4th.
A blog (and forum) I’ve taken great interest in, since it’s inception, is No Longer Quivering. Here is what can happen when complementarianism goes “hard,” what can happen when you peek behind the pretty pictures of the “Biblical Patriarchy” movement.
…
Consider this your invitation to go enjoy the Carnival at No Longer Quivering. The blog will be full of little (true) stories from wives and daughters who lived through the patriarchy movement, and the forums (where discussion takes place) promise to be hopping, if you are a forum sort of person.

Quivering Duaghters > A Different Perpective: She is No Longer Quivering.
Over a few short months, a mother of seven from Nebraska has made headlines as she abandoned her Quiverfull life, launched a website and message board, inspired a play, and started writing a book based upon her experience. Scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode of the Joy Behar Show, Vyckie Garrison of No Longer Quivering is hosting a fun event November 1-4 designed to foster community and garner awareness of some of the painful aspects of fundamentalism. Featuring around-the-clock, live NLQ chat, this would be an excellent opportunity for any of you with questions or thoughts regarding Vyckie’s experience as a Quiverfull mom, or to share your own! Stay for fun activities, games, and lots of cool prizes.

NPR > Baptist Leaders Face Challenge On Women’s Roles.
But Wade Burleson, pastor of a Southern Baptist megachurch in Enid, Okla., says the leaders got it wrong.
“You are badly misinterpreting the word of God, and the consequences of your misinterpretation are enormous,” Burleson says.
Burleson says Jesus treated women as equals, and if Southern Baptists ignore his example, the denomination will shrivel. Burleson believes there’s a quiet underground movement within the convention to rethink women’s roles.
To me all these distinctions between men and women are silly. Of course, Carter is right. I personally do not have a problem of having a pastor who is either male or female. Nor do I mind learning from one who is male or female.
I look at a person and not their gender, for learning purposes, for teaching, for being mentored or someone being in a leadership. But again in Christ there is no leadership. The elders are to be servants. We are all truly one in Christ. All in different stages of maturity, all growing and striving in faith to be one in Christ.
OK. This will fix the problems …

Cheryl, it might be better for you to wait till your son gets back from vacation to do the above, if you are not comfortable.
This post is useful. This is to do with unicode characters.

Quick recovery though. Good job!

Surprisingly, I am able to see the Greek fonts, at least in the preview of the comments.
God bless you, sister in Christ.
This message is from L’s to Cheryl:
Dear THY PEACE,
I could not leave this prayer for the sick on Cheryl Schatz’s site because I do not give my e-mail.
Could you copy it and place it there for her. I would so much appreciate your kind help. L’s
Prayer for the Sick
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep.
As far as the body goes, I have been told it is incurable.
Cheryl, sister in Christ, I pray for you. I am sorry to hear about your travails. I do learn a lot from you. [Also from Paula Fether and Cindy Kunsman.] God bless you sister in Christ.
For some people who are going through a really dark time and unable to read God’s Word, just saying the Lord’s Name is sufficient. I do not know if this thinking is kosher with Christian thinking, but lot of the Saints of Old have done this. It’s almost like hanging on to one thing for dear life … and for now it’s the Name of the Lord.
It appears to work. 🙂
