I’m a Vietnam era vet who became involved with the Calvary Chapel movement back in the early 70’s. Back then as now, they taught and continue to teach, that certain offices in corporate church settings are exclusively for men, and that women are forbidden to execute them.
For a long while, I too believed that this is just the way it is; no arguments, no exceptions, no wiggle room, Paul the apostle said it, it’s God’s inerrant word, and that settles it. My own journey from cookie-cutter fundamentalism is too long to relate here, but there came a point at which I could no longer reconcile the over-arching message of scripture with the doctrine of only partial enfranchisement for women.
If there are any of you who have chanced upon this blog-site out of curiosity, divine intervention, or what have you, give Cheryl’s WIM dvd’s a fair hearing, think critically and decide for yourselves whether or not God has a unique law prohibiting Godly women from preaching and teaching sound doctrine. Above all, search the scriptures yourselves and decide for yourselves what God’s word says and does not say.
