Christian blogger's post helped expose Gateway Church founder's abuse, leading to guilty plea Dee Parsons, who published survivor Cindy Clemishire's story, says the conviction sends a global message and offers hope to survivors still waiting to be heard.

More on Dee Parsons from Wartburg Watch: Without the selfless advocacy of Dee (and others), and her investigative research on church abuse, mega church pastor Robert Morris may have continued on as a revered evangelical. Dee is profiled in our film (in last editing). www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/g...

It wasn't just the progressive evangelical feminists rising that concerned Piper/Grudem when they launched a backlash called complementarianism. Some of the founders of Christian for Biblical equality were authors & theologians who led the biblical, evangelical feminist movement.

Good point, yes, think there was a steady concern in the 70s of rise of evangelical feminists. It seemed by late 80s after a conference of where feminists were hesdlined, Grudem called for more collaborative networks to join to mobilize, Danvers Staement, CBMW, SBC (an engine)...

Don't ignore a vital part of Christian history when the word complementarianism entered the world, when powerful evangelical networks joined to silence evangelical feminists & marketed a new kind of masculine Christianity, a modern day, softer version of Christian patriarchy. And here we are.

A Female Teacher and Deacon in Antioch (AD 360s) - Marg Mowczko In Theodoret of Cyrrhus’s Church History there is a story of a brave woman who was a teacher and deacon in Antioch in the early 360s.

Love these (many) stories of women teachers in Christian history. "The following is the whole account in Theodoret’s Church History about the young man and his teacher. Note that the woman is called β€œthe teacher” (tΔ“n disaskalon) twice." @margmowczko.bsky.social

For many, the death of Charlie Kirk means grieving a hero for God & country lost. For others, it's outrage they feel for what he & others represent, the perpetuation of gun violence, & the rot of hatefulness & divisiveness in the name of Christ--in essence the negation Christ's teachings. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² is sick.
