Whisper's Sister,

When did our adherence to tradition become our authoritative definition of when we are "doing God's will?" Ordination is not scriptural and nowhere in scripture do we find any evidence that the Holy Spirit equips people for roles in the church based on gender. Those "givens" reveal the falsehoods on which all the arguments against the ordination of women are based. We shouldn't be ordaining anyone, but recognizing when the Holy Spirit has equipped people to minister in a particular way.
