“I will also work on a post along this line. I will apologize in advance for being slow. I am overworked at the present, preparing for three talks on Women in Ministry for July and I need to prioritize my efforts as best I can as I have a sick mother-in-law who may cause us to drop everything to attend to her. But the things we have been talking about are very much on my mind to provide a one-stop place for the answer to your question.”

Thank you, Cheryl. And take your time; there’s no hurry. I agree that if this is the right interpretation, it really doesn’t matter what others think of it. But I do a lot of presentation of egal interpretations on other people’s blogs– and if I’m going to argue for this view, I need to be able to defend it thoroughly. Right now I am unable to defend it thoroughly because I don’t know how to respond to these issues of context.
So I’ll be happy to read what you have to say about this, when you have time. 🙂
