I should back off even more on the last paragraph and not speak for Susanna so much. What I know is that she is passionate about this issue and her passion extends beyond a love of grammatical correctness. She has real fear about the ramifications of this debate for the broader debate against heirarchy. I will let her articulate those fears.

I am sure that we can help Susanna forgo those fears by the time we are through. I do understand Susanna’s concern, but I think that she is only concerned because she has not heard my complete argument yet. I would be very surprised if she is still concerned when she hears the connection to the new testament that I haven’t shared yet.
