It occurs to me, upon reading your post and chewing on it a bit, that women in ministry are held to a much higher standard of Christlike behavior than men in ministry. I don’t think that is a bad thing for women as it calls us higher. I wonder if it is a bad thing for men, though?

I have a mentor who is very old-fashioned about women’s roles in church… She thinks God is presently calling and anointing women to speak into the culture because men (whom HE called first) did not heed the call. She sees movements like PK as God calling men into spiritual leadership, but many did not heed the call and slid more deeply into things like porn (a rampant but unspoken problem in the church).
