I actually agree with Carter and “the Elders” on this. I think it is most dispicible to use God as a reason to justify demeaning women.

It is taking God’s amazing name in vain and dragging it through the mud of human sin.

I wish more folks would leave their churches because of this, then leaders would know that this is an important ethical issue. instead, we put up with it hoping things will change. If we would just vote with our feet, things would change. I believe there are way more who oppose the subordination of women who are in the church today and are silent.

I wonder what would happen if we had the courage to walk out or resign like Jimmy.

The problem is… many churches, especially those who seek to reach younger generations, do not advertise their real views. if you look on their websites, they are silent. many become connected before they ever know the churches position on women. This silence is, i believe a secret shame.
