So, I&#8217;ve got an invitation:<!--more|inline--><br \/>\nHere it is: I&#8217;d like to begin a weekly (or bi-weekly) discussion about women in ministry but what we are in need of is a list of topics to discuss. If we can establish civility in conversation  about a variety of specific topics, then I will eventually do a series on the issue of women, ordination\/etc, and the Bible, looking particularly at the cultural arguments. Let&#8217;s begin with some other topics.<br \/>\nWhat would you like to see discussed? What are some topics?<br \/>\nGround rule: As with last week, if you are opposed to women in ministry, then skip this discussion and listen in. Eventually maybe we&#8217;ll get to your topics of interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a long time I&#8217;ve wanted to do a series on women in ministry, but not only is a blog not the ideal place for such a series, many of us get so riled up that conversation slips all too quickly into accusation.
