The Danvers statement, I think, is the next thing in your little booklet.

Let me give you a little background here, and then we're just going to walk through it as a kind of summary of complementarity.

The Danvers statement was drafted by me and then reviewed by a committee and published and has been used as the main statement of the main statement of the biblical counsel on manhood and womanhood which you can go to online's an

excellent website biblical counsel on men cbmw.org and if you want to know the counterpoint

evangelicals for biblical equality if you type into Google, you'll see their website.

So the two evangelical countering views are both there on their websites.

Evangelicals for biblical equality, the more feminist side, and CBMW.org, the complementarian side.

So I've been on this from the ground level and drafted the document.

It got refined in committee and now it's still used.

So this does represent where I am because I wrote it and not much was changed after I wrote it.

So the first, I don't know if I'll read through this because we've been on rationale for so long.

I think I'm going to skip the first parts of the rationale.

There may be one or two that are, let me just look and we'll just walk through them here.

These are reasons why it matters again, the widespread uncertainty and confusion of our culture and so on.

I'm going to skip it because otherwise I'm going to go so slow.

We'll never get to the affirmations.

So here we are at affirmations in the Danvers statement.

I think there are 10 of them.

Based on our understanding of biblical teachings, we affirm the following.

This is an old brochure.

You can download it from the website of CBMW if you want it, and it tries to summarize what we believe

about sexuality and complementarity.
