@yourbrainbyjess Makes sense. Have you written anything about this? In my experience neither is typically well developed nor intentionally designed. And disciple making is often limited/focused on new believers.
@jrice612 Egalitarian denoms struggle with ben. sex. too due to its underlying principles of 1) paternalistic protectiveness 2) role differentiation, & 3) idolization of heterosexuality. BS is dangerous bc it is often unconscious/cultural but felt. Death by a thousand cuts.
@yourbrainbyjess Check out jenni catron and Marykate Morse for Xtain perspective. R. b. Kanter is the matriarch of org leadership. Wheatley and Meyerson proposed theories. If you narrow subject and scholar or practitioner, i can get more specific.
@AndyRowell @thejuniaproject @ryanburge@RNS@ReligionData Campbell-Reed did a study in 2018, & dif denom have a signif. spread. She found that mainline churches average 27% female clergy; some ranged 35%+ (UU, UCC, DoC, Episcopal). Contrast with non-mainline egalitarian church range between 12-24%. https://t.co/U6cmRR5aUh

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.
They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.
It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?
As I live & breathe, I’m on a walk in the woods singing the old hymn I surrender all & nearly step on the most vividly hued copperhead I’ve ever seen. Got on boots so no big deal. Stunned it & slung it up in a tree to keep it from Queen Esther. The nerve of it on New Year’s Day.
The hallmark of an open mind is not letting your ideas become your identity.
If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.
If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
@SolaSisters As a never married childless woman in her 50s who is neither lonely nor unsatisfied, this made me throw up a little in my mouth. Also I thought women were saved through child bearing. 😜
A summary of a key issue "Here’s my gripe with Leeman and Shenvi, they think that culture is something that happens to other people, and they are shaped by the Bible alone."
