I agree with blogger and theologian Ben Witherington that it takes a really weak man to be concerned about a woman doing the Lord's work in His kingdom. The recent news of a Southern Baptist church in Watertown, NY, dumping a woman Bible class teacher after 54 years for "scriptural reasons" is indeed disturbing on numerous levels.
The fact that Pastor LeBouf commented a woman can carry on any job "outside the church" shows just how compartmentalized some people erroneously lead their lives. As Ben pointed out - what if this woman were teaching Christian adults in, say, college? To me, it just highlights again how rampantly Satan is working in our churches today - dividing and conquering, puffing male leaders up with ego, pride and haughtiness. God help us - here's the link:
