I love it when they start calling names. Actually, it is not worth even a fisk. The woman has conflated feminism with Christianity (I note she talks anglicanism not the faith) and she misses the point: it is about working together.

And she actually makes Sunshine Mary’s point: these women want power, and therefore they should have none.

BUt I have a long memory, and recall that the National Organization of Women used to be made up of these people. My Mum at one point went to conferences as an APW representative. However, the feminists got involved, and then the socialist lesbian feminists — and at that point all the middle class and conservative women left.

These organizations used to do good and teach correctly. But it was a generation ago.

They pervert the Scriptures for political ends.

Chris wrote: “Okay. The entire disaster of women’s leadership within the church — and it has been a disaster, because it destroyed the complementary women’s wings of the church (The Association of Presbyterian Women, the Mother’s League… did a lot of practical good and gave a lot of practical teaching. Along with tea and cucumber sandwiches).”

I have actually changed my mind about some of the women’s ministry stuff. I was involved with the on-campus Women’s Bible study groups at my church for awhile, and I finally had to conclude that groups of women together who are not being led in their study of the Word by a man will generally begin to rationalize and affirm basically anything. I no longer think that women should do any teaching of men or other women from the Word – only children.

Hosea 4:6

my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,

I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.

Once again much of the church has yielded and became a friend to the world.

Chris I ask you this what has gone wrong with much of Christendom that it has come to this?
