Recently someone here at GMC was asking about our belief about women in leadership positions at our church. This topic was even briefly discussed at our Regional Conference. I spent much of today looking at some of the key passages about this, specifically 1 Tim 2:11-15. Personally, my biggest hang up about allowing women in leadership positions is that Paul’s basis for his belief is found in Gen, even before the fall, i.e. established by God. Many of the other reasons can be explained away with cultural bias, but I have not heard a good argument about the order of creation.
