Any dissenters? What about those who say the texts do not decide this issue? Hedgers? <br /><br />Ken, housekeeping. I apologize for putting up my stupid comments about Jael on the other thread. I do love Jael. She’s a great inspiration for me in the poverty work I do. She's an outside the "genealogy" genealogical blessing. To me! But I don’t advise battered women and wives to pick up tent pegs. Except the tent pegs of restraining orders in courts. I tore those posts down. Because I read some more of what’s happening in Norway. I regret posting as I did. Even in play. I’m sorry about those posts. <br /><br />JimRandom Arrowhttp://randomarrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-4630071931497845932011-07-26T14:49:36.087-04:002011-07-26T14:49:36.087-04:00after the first two, i completely agreeafter the first two, i completely agreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-11336375344125478022011-07-26T13:27:19.244-04:002011-07-26T13:27:19.244-04:00Great list Ken!

It seems o...Great list Ken! There is much to like.<br /><br />It seems one clarification is needed regarding number two.<br /><br />You seem to be thinking of the church in its district and general function and on those levels there is shared decision making between lay and clergy.<br /><br />However what is often overlooked is the dramatically different way our local churches operate. There is no parity locally. In local churches, the laity make the key decisions. Clergy have input, but there is no equality of representation. Lay people run the show.<br /><br />Whether this is good or not is an entirely different question. There are strengths and weaknesses in any system.JRSnoreply@blogger.com
