Today, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is sitting in soiled diapers on account of its anti-female regulation, or shall we call the move by the SBC’s own terminology, amendment.

Amendment, shmamendment

Amendments have been unsettling in the religious world and in the political realm. Just ask the Americans about their perfect and enlightened constitution.
One: people do not like change.
Two:  the destiny of man has not changed
Three: change to historic operations are necessary (e.g. what was good for journeying through a desert does not work for residence in Canaan)

The most sacred trusts are deposited in the earliest narratives. It is kind of quixotic for the Taliban, the Evangelical fundamentalists, and the Catholics to want to exclude women in God’s name from serving as leaders and stewards of divine mysteries. For Christians it is especially disgraceful to hear men and women talking about excluding women from positions of influence. Would they also deny a woman the right to teach her child what’s right and what’s wrong and to talk about those things from the cradle to the grave? There is a lot of hot air behind the all-male talk. How do I know?

Adam (mankind) is male and female

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 1:26, NASB

Not only is there no room for gender discrimination in the administration of the mysteries of the Christian faith, stewardship is marked, from the earliest template, as joint. What else are these misogynists going to come up with in the name of decency and justice?
