Just read that IM post about women in ministry and thought it was pretty ridiculous. To me, it just perpetuates the stereotype that women who aspire to ministry positions are power-hungry, selfish, and seeking their own glory. I mean, telling us to read less Joel Osteen? How condescending. I usually love IM contributors, but this was just totally ridiculous.
Yeah, I thought it was a pretty weak and narrow article myself, but as you can see there were a truckload of comments so "shared" it through Google Reader (which then goes to twitter) in the hopes that others would engage with substantive comments. I'm with ya.
Toward a Missional Vision of Theological Education
One of my main areas of interest is the shaping of a missional paradigm of theological education in Post-Christendom. To that end I wrote a series of 9 posts on the subject that have become foundational for work that I am continuing to do in the current context of seminary education.
