A little along the line of Don’s observation, we always seem to come around to thinking about teaching as doctrinal impartation and not relational discipleship.
A man cannot – for a number of reasons – fully disciple a woman. And it works the other way around too. When true teaching occurs there is much more context involved than merely exchange of information. Of course there are an unlimited number of “things” that we are able to teach each other; women and men to boys and girls, and as most parents know – even things that children can teach us.
The reason many of the solutions to these seemingly very difficult questions are so hard to implement is because of deeper root issues, such as failure to fully understand who we really are, both as the Church and who we are individually in Christ. But-we are making some headway-be it at significant cost. (Strange–I can’t seem to find much on this site that brings that aspect up, Cheryl!;-)
