One example of this bankruptcy is seen in the warm is promoting a wide-spread humility before God and his word, reception among many egalitarians that William Webbʼs Slaves, along with a growing satisfaction in living according to the Women & Homosexuals—reviewed by Thomas Schreiner in patterns that he has established for us, his human creation. In JBMW, 7.1 (Spring 2002) 41-51, and also critiqued by Wayne my travels over the past several months, Iʼve had opportunity Grudem in his article in this issue—is having, a book which to speak in many settings on various aspects of “the gender makes its egalitarian case fi rst by agreeing (essentially) with debate,” as one might call it, and I have found such warm complementarians in their interpretation of New Testament and enthusiastic reception to the clear and wise teaching of passages! Only then does he invoke his proposal that this Scripture on roles of men and women. Perhaps as we witness NT teaching, however, is not normative for the church today. denominations like the Anglican and Episcopal churches Rather, we must look beyond the Bible to know how we are to demonstrate that failure to uphold biblical teaching on the live today. How dangerous, how deeply sad, and how wrong roles of men and women promotes even larger departures on this proposal is. The encouraging point in this, however, is that questions of gender requirements for marriage and ordination, complementarian interpretations of Scripture are proving true, others may become even more resolved to seek to understand as tested over and over again, and we rejoice in the steadfast and obey Scripture rightly on these questions. We realize now, defenses of clear biblical teaching that many faithful supporters more than ever, that much is at stake – for our marriages, our of the complementarian position are giving. families, our churches, and for the culture at large – in just how we interpret and live out biblical teaching on gender matters. So, both offensively and defensively, we see reason to rejoice that the complementarian understanding of Scripture is COUNCIL MEMBERS H. Wayne House Bruce A. Ware Lane T. Dennis Paul Karleen J. P.

Ligon Duncan, and Terry Johnson, commending the practice our good. of family worship, headed and led by fathers in their homes. A theology of worship is joined here with responsible male headship in a way that can assist many families to enter into new levels of freedom and joy, in Christ. Mark David Walton then provides us with a look into the age to come, exploring the question of gender identity in the new creation. As one considers the truth that God created man as male and female, it is only natural to inquire whether gender identity continues, and Waltonʼs essay is richly instructive on this matter. Wayne Grudem, one of complementarianismʼs best friends and most productive scholars, has just completed a new book, Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth, to be released soon from Multnomah Press, in which every major (and minor!) egalitarian argument is addressed and answered. Grudem has done the church an enormous service through this upcoming volume, and it is our privilege here to publish an essay from this book expressing some of the reasons why the gender issue matters so much, both in the academy and in the church. Susie Hawkins presents an intriguing glimpse into Muslim culture in her article on the meaning of the veil within Islam. The contrast between joyful biblical complementarianism and this picture of the life of women in Islam could not be more stark. Daniel Akin, the newly-elected president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, provides us with a clear and insightful sermon on Titus 2, and following this we offer an array of contemporary cultural essays on some of the most pressing issues of our day. Russell D. Moore, R. Albert Mohler, Jr., Nancy DeMoss, and Todd Miles each contributes wisdom and insight into various facets of the current struggle for biblical faithfulness in matters of gender and sexuality. Our book review this issue comes from our managing editor, Rob Lister, who offers a very helpful overview and critique of J. Lee Gradyʼs recent 25 Tough Questions about Women and the Church. This, along with Gradyʼs previous 10 Lies the Church Tells Women, is leading many into a deeply fl awed understanding of the teaching of Scripture. Lister offers some help in showing where this proposal has gone wrong and where the truth may be found. And once again, Lister has compiled the lengthy list of annotated articles on gender issues, this list of articles published in 2003.

  • Updating Report for SCCA Campaign
    Updating Report for SCCA Campaign 2012 proved incredibly important in raising public awareness of the institutional cultures and dynamics that hinder the effective implementation of Child Protection/Safeguarding policies and procedures. The Savile Inquiries, the Rochdale cases and the inquiries and police investigation into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy within the Diocese of Chichester all in 2012 raise considerable concerns about how those placed in positions of authority within institutions, local authorities and police services as well as within the wider communities respond to Child Sexual Abuse that is taking place in some cases quite literally before their eyes. The campaign and the Government’s response The Stop Church Child Abuse (“SCCA”) campaign was launched in March 2012. The campaign is an alliance of clergy sexual abuse survivors, charities supporting survivors, specialist lawyers and interested individuals working in the field of child safeguarding. The campaign aims to highlight the serious safeguarding failures of church institutions. The campaign and many individuals have called on the Government to institute an independent inquiry into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy, religious and other church officials within all Dioceses and institutions of the Catholic Church in England & Wales and the Church of England and in Wales. Many contacts and letters have passed between the campaign’s supporters and the MPs. The Government response to this pressure has been (quoting from the Education Secretary’s letter of 25th May 2012):- 1) “No child should ever have to tolerate abuse. I am not however convinced of the need for a public inquiry, as the key issues are already being addressed by reforms we have underway.

Womanhood If Biblical “I HATE PAUL!” I can’t tell you how many times I have heard that from my students, mostly young women scarred by how Paul has been used against them as they have been told to be silent (1 Corinthians 14), to submit to their husbands (Ephesians 5), not to teach or exercise authority over men (1 Timothy 2), and to be workers at home (Titus 2). They have been taught that God designed women to follow male headship (1 Corinthians 11), focusing on family and home (Colossians 3; 1 Peter 3), and that occupations other than family should be secondary for women, mostly undertaken out of necessity or after their children have left the house. A few years ago, a student came to my office ostensibly to discuss her class paper, but it soon became clear that what she really wanted to discuss was her vocation. She asked me: Did God call you to be a professor as well as a mom and a pastor’s wife? Was it hard? Did you feel guilty about working outside the home? Was your husband sup- portive? What did people in your church think? She shared her frustrations as a career-minded Christian woman from a conservative background who was trying to reconcile church and family expectations with her vocational calling.

  • CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY and the LIBERATION of EVE a Thesis
    CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2016 CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. MALS Mentor: Theresa Sanders, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Christian Patriarchy is a set of beliefs held by many conservative Christians that outlines gender roles based on a literal interpretation of scripture. These gender roles, also referred to as biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, dictate the hierarchy of authority where Christ is the head of the household, the husband is the head of the wife. Children are primed at a very young age to demonstrate the tenets of biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, but for young girls, their paths are strictly laid out for them to marry, birth many Godly children, and serve their husbands. The fundamentalist reading of Genesis 2-3 is used to justify female submission via Eve’s creation and subsequent role in the Fall of Humanity. This evangelical interpretation uses Genesis 2-3 as the foundational text to first justify women as subordinate based on creation order, and secondly justify women’s submission on Eve’s role in the Fall of Humanity. By using biblical interpretations to subordinate the woman’s position vis-à-vis her husband, women in these conservative Christian homes are locked into this role with little chance to follow a different path, and are often dependent on a dominant male figure for survival.

  • That This Synod Ask the Ho
    1. In July 2000, General Synod passed the following motion proposed by the Archdeacon of Tonbridge: That this Synod ask the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focussing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England, and to make a progress report on this study to Synod in the next two years. 2. In order to carry out the theological study referred to in Archdeacon Judith Rose’s motion, the House of Bishops established a working party which began its work in April 2001. The membership of the working party is as follows: The Rt Revd Dr Michael Nazir-Ali (Bishop of Rochester, Chairman) Dr Christina Baxter (Principal, St John’s College, Nottingham) The Rt Revd Wallace Benn (Bishop of Lewes) The Very Revd Vivienne Faull (Provost of Leicester) The Rt Revd David Gillett (Bishop of Bolton) The Revd Deacon Christine Hall (University College, Chichester) The Rt Revd Christopher Herbert (Bishop of St Albans) The Rt Revd Christopher Hill (Bishop of Stafford) Professor Ann Loades (University of Durham) The Rt Revd Dr Geoffrey Rowell (Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe) The Ven Dr Joy Tetley (Archdeacon of Worcester) 1 In addition there are two ecumenical representatives: The Revd Dr Anthony Barratt (Vice Rector, St John’s Seminary, Wonersh - The Roman Catholic Church) The Revd Dr Richard Clutterbuck (Principal, The West of England Ministerial Training Course - The Methodist Church) two consultants: The Revd Prof Nicholas Sagovsky (University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) The Revd Canon Professor Anthony Thiselton (University of Nottingham) and three staff assessors: The Revd Preb Dr Paul Avis (General Secretary, CCU) Mr Philip Mawer (Secretary General, House of Bishops) Mr Stephen Slack (Legal Officer, Archbishops Council) In attendance: Dr Martin Davie (Theological Consultant, House of Bishops, Secretary to the Working Party) Mr Jonathan Neil-Smith (Secretary, House of Bishops) Mr Adrian Vincent (Executive Officer, House of Bishops).
