N.T. Wright: 5 Minutes on Women in the Church
Bishop Wright advocates for the full participation of women in the life of the Church. Citing the examples of Junia as an apostle and Phoebe as a deacon in Romans 16, and the commissioning of Mary Magdelene as the first person to announce the resurrection of Jesus in John 20, he believes that the biblical evidence supporting women in leadership is overwhelming.
For those of you feeling a bit bombarded by all my 3,000-word blog posts for Mutuality Week, check out this fantastic, 5-minute video of N.T. Wright talking about women in ministry. (Thanks, Mike and Chase, for reminding me of it.) I'm pretty sure his accent will convince those of you still on the fence to embrace mutuality. :-)
Prepare yourselves: We hit 1 Timothy 2 tomorrow!
