Every now and then one of the hot topics bursts into life on some of the blogs I read and over the past few weeks that’s happened with the issue of the role of women in the church. This post gives the links to who said what and where.

I think it may have started with these posts by Krish Kandiah when he posted on women, men, church and twitter part 1 and part 2

An earlier post by Krish led Mark Heath to ask ‘do complementarian churches hinder women from reaching their full potential in teaching?’

Steve Holmes wonders if the evangelical debate can be depolarised and then does a fairly good job of polarising in his review of of Scott McKnights Junia is not alone– For the opposite view of McKnight’s book try this review by Denny Burk

Tim Challies argues that the public reading of Scripture is a teaching ministry and is therefore something that only men should do

On a related but separate issue was the whole issue of submission. Andrew Wilson looks at mutual submission; Mary Kassian deals with seven misconceptions about submission and Russell Moore says, ‘women stop submitting to men‘

Mark Meynell links to a sermon series by Hugh Palmer from All Souls, Langham Place on when Christians disagree and this very issue is an obvious test case. Worth a listen, me thinks.
