More and more I’m becoming convinced that we are not good at leading other women, either. The tendency for female leaders of other women in the church is to slide slowly into a more feminist frame. I’ve noticed this with Beth Moore, who has written many popular women’s Bible study curricula which are used here in the U.S. She used to be explicit about not wanting authority over men. Sadly, she must no longer feel that way, as I see that she has been preaching Sunday sermons to mixed gender groups (

The emergent church has been sliding toward liberalism for a good seven years now. They started out as strong teachers from the Bible who happened to be very youthful and dressed in skateboarder fashions, and almost immediately slid into social “justice”, by which I don’t mean helping the poor but rather concerning themselves with people’s “rights” (gay rights, rights of people to be supported by the government for their entire lives, the usual stuff).
