If you woke up this AM wondering how US just elected man who supported an insurrection & had a sexual assault verdict against him, parsing voting trends won't offer a satisfying explanation. This is a representative system not a democracy. You have to look further upstream.

@mbird12 Though people should know she's amazing for so many other reasons than just this one thing.

Settling is more important than keeping students safe from alleged sexual predators. Indeed, it’s increasingly difficult to deny that this is simply business as usual for too many Christian institutions. religionnews.com/2024/10/04/jer…

My first obituary for the @nytimes — Paul Pressler, disgraced leader in the Southern Baptist Convention, has died at 94. Once revered, as many as seven men accused him of sex abuse nytimes.com/2024/06/16/obi… Thanks to @RobertDownen_ @baptist_news for their earlier news reporting

@danitreweek My experience in more complementarian/conservative cultures - north west Arkansas - was that there were more women who were at home with kids. They had more time to do unpaid ministry. This is the married women demographic I’m thinking about (reflecting on women my mom knew).

@danitreweek I’d also add that in my experience in very egalitarian broader cultures - Sweden and Australia - the majority of women work for pay and have to (desire, high cost of living, societal pressures etc). There just isn’t the time for extra ministry work especially if it’s unpaid.

@danitreweek But when I’ve been in egalitarian contexts (Sweden for 2 years), there was nothing exclusively for women (or men) so the only women involved in church leadership were the ones helping lead the church.

@danitreweek Men or the system are definitely not doing that but women do. Something I noticed in the US is that there were always robust womens ministries where women taught and resourced other women. I don’t know how many women were paid for this though.

I understand that the SBC is debating the place and process for affirming the Nicene Creed in its doctrinal affirmations. But ... if you cannot affirm the Creed or if you reject it, then you're outside historical Christianity, and you belong in the same category as Unitarians, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Episcopalians.
