In his message to the Midwest Regional Meeting of the New Baptist Covenant, Wade Burleson (a Southern Baptist pastor of a very large Baptist church in Oklahoma) spoke these words: "It should lead us to resist any effort to shut up or censor any Baptist woman called to preach Christ and Him crucified. It is impossible for my Baptist brothers to point to any text - let me repeat this - it is impossible for my Baptist brothers to point to any text, that is properly understood its context, that ever compels Baptist men to suppress Baptist women in terms of ministry. On the contrary, we are called by our Lord to support and love those women of faith just as our Lord has loved us." (Read the full text of Wade Burleson, Saturday August 08, 2009.

"Such confidence as this
is ours through Christ
before God. Not that we
are competent in
ourselves to claim
anything for ourselves,
but our competence comes
from God. He has made us
competent as ministers of
a new covenant - not of the
letter but of the Spirit; for
the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6 (NIV)
