Cheryl,

as much as some try to separate ‘headship’ in marriage from the issues to do with ‘women in [public] ministry’, they are ultimately inextricably tied together. Either God has specific ‘roles’ for men and women, or he doesn’t… if these so-called ‘roles’ are grounded in ‘creation’ as patriarchalists claim, then they surely cut across EVERY area of our life/being. I continually see the biggest challenge with the patriarchal stance as being their inconsistency on how they ‘apply’ this so-called equal (in value) but ‘different’ (in role) theology.

… looking forwards to what you will be posting on this topic.

many thanks
Kerryn
