Summary

The question of women’s roles in the church is as old as the church herself, but in the past ten years the numbers of women teaching theology has skyrocketed. Women teach on blogs, posts, and tweets from all over the world. Is it OK? What is the difference between her work and a non-ordained man’s? Carl, Todd, and Aimee address this topic on today’s Bully Pulpit. If you have enjoyed this week's Bully Pulpit concerning gender issues you will enjoy Gender Confusion Among Women by Rosaria Butterfield as a free gift from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. You can download the audio message from Reformed Resources.

Thank you. about women's blogs for your Wednesday bully pulpit. Well, today we've just been subject to, what I can only describe, as possibly one of the most

1:03.6

humiliating moments of my adult life.

1:07.1

The three of us, Todd, Amy and myself, finished recording and we're just going to the local golf club in order to get a drink.

1:16.9

And we refused entry because they don't allow women into the member's enclosure.

1:24.8

Pretty upsetting and distressing.

1:26.6

Try to explain to them that we had elected Amy as an

1:30.5

1:52.5

But I thought given the fact that Amy has now officially entered into manhood,

1:58.6

that that wouldn't be a problem.
