The Reality of Women in Ministry
Over at the God's Politics blog there is a post exploring the SBC's recent pulling of a magazine featuring women ministers on its cover from their bookstores. Whether or not certain groups want to pretend that women in ministry don't exist, the reality is that we do and that we are making an impact for the Kingdom.
I have to say that all the comments from Land and Mohler, et al, while predictable, have left me still feeling really bothered. I'm generally opposed to converting folks who don't want me there (blessings to you women who are fighting that fight) but as a woman in seminary it's really hard not to take this personally.
