gengwall,
I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for letting us know that you were very ill. We would not have wanted to lose you!

Kay,
Mark’s comment shows a great misunderstanding of the male/female issue on this blog. The issue here is spiritual equality. Are men and women spiritually equal and able to serve the church in all areas with the gifts that He has given them? I believe that the answer is a resounding yes, yes, yes! The fact is that God has designed the church to not be complete without women. In fact all of us are needed and when any of us are marginalized and our gifts shelved as not needed for body health, then we will all suffer. We have been suffering greatly and the pain won’t end until we are a healthy body without restriction so that the blood may flow through our veins again and bring health, vitality and growth.
