I fear you’re right, Dave. It seems that some men are so threatened by the idea of women in any sort of ministry (other than in the kitchen preparing/cleaning up after Communion or church suppers, or in children’s ministry, up to a certain age, of course) that they will do anything to keep that from happening. This includes intellectual sloth, dishonesty, insults, and deliberate divisiveness. Why can’t they just admit that for a lot of them, the real issue is that they’re afraid that the women will do a better job in leading than they will, and they’ll be replaced?

Sorry for the rant, but that’s what crossed my mind. As far as Mike Seaver’s equating women teaching to homosexuality, that deserves a good BULL! I’m not following his logic, and I refuse to believe that the two can be equated. If he can, with solid intellectual integrity and spiritual grace, show me how, then maybe my BS detector will stop going off. But right now, it can probably be heard a (figurative) mile away. Grrrrrrr.
