Elitist bien pensants? New term to me. World church includes First and Third worlds versus congregational churches that include community only. Big geographic umbrella versus small geographic umbrella. Select your flavor ;)  Liberals are for free market and big government . . . policies that flopped in the recent election. Reactionary forces or Berean forces? (Now the Berean Jews were of more noble charcter than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and EXAMINED THE SCRIPTURES every day to see if what Paul said was TRUE. Acts 17:11) I do not see female leadership in the Bible. Helpmate, yet. Leader no. Even in heaven God has an order. You do not see Seraphims demanding to be Cherubims and Cherubims demanding to be one of the Four Living Creatures -- all roles needed; and all content in roles -- except Lucifer.
