about bWe Baptist Women for Equality
My husband Don and I have been married for 49 years.
He is my biggest supporter. For almost 15 years I was a
ministry assistant in the Church Starting Center of the
Baptist General Convention of Texas (also known as
BGCT and now known as Texas Baptists).
In 2000, I became convinced that the Southern Baptist
Convention was starting down a path of holding women to
the 1st century Bible days, while the men were allowed to
move into the 21st century. This website and my blog are
to encourage women to claim the equality that is rightfully
theirs.
I am a Southern Baptist woman. I like being a Baptist, and
choose that over any other group of believing Christians.
But the Southern Baptist Convention has decided to freeze
in place. Or more specifically, have decided that women
are to freeze in place while the men are allowed to move
on into this 21st century. No restrictions have been placed
on the men.
In fact, in the adoption of the Danver's Statement of
Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood by the
Southwestern Theological Baptist Seminary, it will be made
very clear that the men are selected by God to have Male
Headship over the women and over the families.
This is going to have long-term results and women will
suffer because of it. They will suffer because there is no
way you can give men, or women for that matter, this kind
of god-like power that this statement gives them without it
having serious consequences.
Remember that the serpent tempted Eve by saying “…you
will be like God, knowing good and evil.” A man cannot be
between his wife and God. That makes him a god, and her
a lesser being.
