22 Mark,

I am so glad that you are on the “egal” side of the comp position. Praise God for that! I pray that in time you will come to see that your sisters in Christ are to be free to serve in anyway that God has gifted them.

In my experience comps have tended to raise these issues in order to Glorify God, and unfortunately most egals i encounter merely point to how stupid comps are.

I have seen that most egals are interested in glorifying God by not denying the gifts that He has given them. They also have love for their brothers in Christ and do not want to deny these precious brothers the benefit of these gifts. Since this the position that most come to, I believe that most are living out the mandate to glorify God. I also very much want to see the body of Christ united on this point. It is when we all work together with our gifts that we bring the most glory to God.
