I rarely post things like this, but here you go:
I am a single, never married female minister. However, I am not a feminist by any stretch. I know who I am in Christ. I know my own humanity and place on this earth. Also, although I post the article below, I don't agree with everything written. I don't feel we should need to take such a strong stance for gender equality, however, I do believe we should stand up for those who have had their voice silenced in the church, and that stance should be a biblical one.
We need to know what the Bible reveals to us and look at the entirety of scripture & seek God for clear interpretation of what the coming of Christ brought to humanity.
In my estimation, the fulfillment of scripture through Jesus means that we all have a place at the table, no matter our gender, abilities, sins - or our past, present, or future. God has accepted us just as we are, and we should strive to accept and promote one another as brothers & sisters in Christ. None of us are perfect. We are all on a journey.
So lets treat one another as we would like to be treated. Love God. Love others as you love yourself.
