I like Thabiti Anyabwile’s blog, and he’s recently been going through a series around the whole complementarian thing. I thought his most recent post was good, and challenging. Here’s a quote from it, but I’d encourage you to read the whole thing:
Younger women are steered toward home and domestic life rather than service on the mission field. Single women are often counseled to build their lives around an anticipated husband by delaying commitment to the mission field “until they find a spouse.” We sometimes encourage sisters to wait on the Lord for missions in order to actively seek a spouse and family. It seems we should reverse this: we should encourage the sisters to wait on the Lord for spouse and family while actively seeking to be on mission.
I read a story in the newspapers recently that the Church of England had started the process of potentially enabling ladies to serve as bishops. Of course there are two sides to the debate – one side didn’t ever want ladies to become vicars so will vote against this move (and likely lose), the other side believes in equal rights.
