On these blogs, men and women are speaking up and connecting with each other. This gives us all encouragement.

This was allowed at the time largely because it predated the latest controversy about gender which led BBB to tighten its guidelines. It was also strictly on topic as it related to WELS views on women and how they related to its attitude to NIV 2011. But none of us wanted those comments to be used as a pretext for turning that comment thread into a general discussion of gender issues. Unfortunately several BBB commenters have regularly been trying to do that in ways which went well off topic. We BBB authors have been trying hard to keep matters on topic in an even-handed way. But it is very difficult to spot every allusion to gender in long comments which are otherwise on topic. So sometimes we get things wrong.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-21164724785432292482011-08-10T05:59:28.665-07:002011-08-10T05:59:28.665-07:00Hope I still encounter you around the blogosphere,...Hope I still encounter you around the blogosphere, Charis.

There was a large illustration of Priscilla and Aquilla actively teaching an individual. Well, Acquilla and the individual were seated at the table, Aquilla gesturing and speaking. Priscilla was standing next the table, eyes down and mouth in a closed smile, arranging flowers in a vase.Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-9659454228316039972011-08-09T11:34:41.908-07:002011-08-09T11:34:41.908-07:00"Overall, I find most male bibliobloggers to ..."Overall, I find most male bibliobloggers to be highly supportive of women as equals both on the blogs and in all domains of life. There is no question that most of the bibliobloggers I have encountered have an ethic of treating women as equals."<br /><br />That's good to hear. I'm glad it's more equal than the recent argument suggests.<br /><br />I just posted this on Kurk's blog and thought, since it's about you, I should post it here too:<br /><br />"I applaud you Suzanne for continuing the fight. I respect you a lot for first, staying evangelical, and second, for making them see and hear you. I wish I had your patience, grit, and determination, but I don't. You should see what my blood pressure shoots to when Kurk quotes some of these guys: don't know if I could handle the full blog posts, let alone engage and respond to them without having a stroke.<br /><br />"And to be honest: I love how women being equals with men in all areas of life, including ordination and leadership, is just a non-issue for the most part in Mainline churches (I live in Chicago, so it's fairly liberal here). I love that I don't have to waste my time defending myself and I can just do what Godde has called me to do.<br /><br />"But I have a great deal of respect for the women who stay and fight because I could not do it."<br /><br />Thank you for the shout out and staying in the fray with such grace and poise.Shawna Atteberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752697766813703698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-67974732583151622402011-08-09T09:35:28.275-07:002011-08-09T09:35:28.275-07:00Re: the story about Grudem advising the woman the ...Re: the story about Grudem advising the woman the get a PhD.<br /><br />That one's new on me. It makes me wonder if Grudem has any concept of the sacrifices that people today have to make to get such degrees. <br /><br />Presumably he had to make sacrifices of his own, but can he honestly say he would have done so if there were no viable chance of making enough money in gainful employment to pay off those debts? (We're not talking here about becoming wealthy or anything like that.

I got a bee in my bonnet yesterday from Shirley's article - and those comments as well.<br /><br />I'll never understand how people can claim that these attitudes, viewpoints, etc are not derogatory in nature - and live with themselves.<br /><br />Women say something is wrong, and what you say is hurtful.<br /><br />Certain men respond...stop being a feminist. It wasn't until the 1960's did women think this. You are buying into the lie.<br /><br />If that is 'leadership skills' we are in trouble.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165967476661656865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-80742977449360389832011-08-09T06:25:38.927-07:002011-08-09T06:25:38.927-07:00I will break the peace for my sisters as it is a f...I will break the peace for my sisters as it is a false peace.
