No comment.
Except to say that I'm a little amazed that with Paul spouting stuff like this, the church is able to attract any 20th/21st century women at all. Especially amazed that it's men that the church has a hard time keeping in worship. Since at least the time of the suffrage movement and the social movements of temperance (1920s ish) women have had an increasingly powerful role in the Protestant church in America. They've been ordained since the 60s or 70s, and currently make up 56% of the ELCA membership. I don't have statistics on attendance v. membership, but we all know that many dads only show up for the pageants.
I'm not very good at "no comment."

I'll put a comment on your no comment. As I read this on the way home I couldn't wait to see what you would write :)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree!
Both you and Matthew, huh? I seem to be establishing a bit of a reputation for a snarky type post on some issues. That's okay, sometimes Paul (or pseudo-Paul) deserves a snarky response.
