I believe Jimmy Carter left his Southern Baptist routes a few years ago because of this one sidedness. He was most offended by how they treated women. I am so curious to see what other tides get moved because of this.
Not to support my earlier comment but to support Curt’s first piece. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/june/women-resolution-southern-baptist-annual-meeting-sbc18.html ” class=”bbcode_url”> https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/june/women-resolution-southern-baptist-annual-meeting-sbc18.html And one more, then I am going to bed. https://blog.lproof.org/2018/05/a-letter-to-my-brothers.html ” class=”bbcode_url”> https://blog.lproof.org/2018/05/a-letter-to-my-brothers.html The following are my favorite quotes. Remember is Southern Baptist but these words ring just as true in Mormonism.
Quote:I’m asking for your increased awareness of some of the skewed attitudes many of your sisters encounter. Many churches quick to teach submission are often slow to point out that women were also among the followers of Christ (Luke
, that the first recorded word out of His resurrected mouth was “woman” (John 20:15) and that same woman was the first evangelist. Many churches wholly devoted to teaching the household codes are slow to also point out the numerous women with whom the Apostle Paul served and for whom he possessed obvious esteem. We are fully capable of grappling with the tension the two spectrums create and we must if we’re truly devoted to the whole counsel of God’s Word.Quote:Finally, I’m asking that you would simply have no tolerance for misogyny and dismissiveness toward women in your spheres of influence. I’m asking for your deliberate and clearly conveyed influence toward the imitation of Christ in His attitude and actions toward women. I’m also asking for forgiveness both from my sisters and my brothers. My acquiescence and silence made me complicit in perpetuating an atmosphere in which a damaging relational dynamic has flourished. I want to be a good sister to both genders.
Quote:I am grateful for the privilege to be heard. I long for the day – have asked for the day – when we can sit in roundtable discussions to consider ways we might best serve and glorify Christ as the family of God, deeply committed to the authority of the Word of God and to the imitation of Christ.
We have had some of this over here. I know for a fact we have a diversity of political opinion in the church locally, but some of the local leaders keep pushing their viewpoint and marketing it as apolitical. Quote:To enact this change, young Baptists nominated 45-year-old pastor J.D. Greear from North Carolina to be president of the denomination.
2060.
That’s the year when a man in the LDS church that has the perspective of someone that is currently 45 years old might have a chance to become president of the church. 2060.
Twenty sixty.
