Obedience is not a secondary issue

The article argues that the restriction on women serving as pastors, grounded in 1 Timothy 2:12, is not a secondary or debatable theological issue but a plain obedience issue.

The piece ends with a challenge to egalitarians: what does obedience or disobedience to this passage actually look like?
