Commenting has not been enabled there so the conversations must take place elsewhere. As you have suggested his blog entry is not representative of his stance on women in ministry then it is useful, as you have done, to contribute to the discussion. It is only reasonable though that your assertions JohnOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211044826530140430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401700189847333654.post-15347479133296120042010-10-25T11:59:30.364+01:002010-10-25T11:59:30.364+01:00Dear Isobel

If that is how my post came across, then I am deeply sorry, as it was Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500372331937107264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401700189847333654.post-52789672738981254412010-10-25T01:34:52.673+01:002010-10-25T01:34:52.673+01:00I am not getting in to a prolonged discussion back...I am not getting in to a prolonged discussion back and forth about what we understand of what Peter was writing to his own Congregation, primarily.

He obviously has to work within the JohnOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211044826530140430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401700189847333654.post-53763836060428164192010-10-24T18:25:06.601+01:002010-10-24T18:25:06.601+01:00Why do women betray themselves by reading only wha...Why do women betray themselves by reading only what we think someone is saying without first asking the person who said/wrote it if our understanding is correct? Ask Peter - he is not opposed to women, and is seeking to encourage his congregation to propose women - but at their pace. <br />In case you are wondering, I am a woman minister, ordained since 1975, and I have found Peter nothing but Isabel Buchannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401700189847333654.post-21486823166671763972010-10-17T22:47:51.435+01:002010-10-17T22:47:51.435+01:00*grins*
