Oh, Beth, I just have to laugh.
The Holy Scriptures are also patriarchal in some ways.
So though we believe in women's rights, some of us believe that there
is Biblical reason not to seek ordination as women.
However, most folk do not hold to that anymore. So we're in a
distinct minority.
It's a subject on which we feel the Scriptures speak without
equivocation; but most do not think that we're right in our
interpretation.
We'll not agree on some things, here, that's certain.
Have a blest weekend.
