Following my post last week on fighting over Junia, there have been a few more posts worth mentioning on the subject of gender roles. Firstly, in my opinion, Andrew Wilson has written an excellent post busting twenty myths in the gender debate and has been very even-handed busting ten from each side!

To demonstrate why this whole debate matters and generates a lot of heat and passion, let me give you a couple of examples that I’ve read recently. Firstly Paul Levy wrote about reaching men in university and then this was given real personal depth by the urban pastor in his post only girls allowed?

For the other side you could read Dave Warnock on his views of egalitarian marriage (which sounds strangely like most, if not all of the complementarian marriages I’m personally aware of).

Either way approaching the issue with Andrew’s post in mind should help at least in talking to each other and not past each other as so often happens.
