Next time you’re in even a church that hasn’t “fully included” women in ministry, if they aren’t specifically excluded, count the male to female ratio. It’s usually well under 25%.

1) The Philippines survivors of Typhoon Haiyan? NO!

2) The survivors of the tornadoes in the upper midwest? NO!

3) The 5,200,000 Americans who lost their health care due to Obamacare? NO!

4) #Prochoice Texas women’s heinous acts of FILICIDE WITH IMPUNITY? YES!

And some of the actresses from Orange is the New Black appeared!

I prophesy that the appearance of the women who depict convicts dressed in orange and drab prison jumpsuits at a telethon to raise money for abortion is God’s way of presaging — portending — the day soon when women — just like their male counterparts — go to prison for killing their own gestating babies in utero.

It was good to see women dressed in garb indicative of the heinous crimes they commit.

Only time will tell if my prophesy is true or not. I’m praying it turns out to be very true!

How do you reconcile the apparent egalitarianism in the Gospels with the much more gendered take on societal roles within the Pastoral Epistles?

I ask as I struggle with this, and it’s been a recent topic of conversation at my church.
