Californian staff writer Mark Barna will have a story in Saturday's paper about how various churches use the Bible to restrict or encourage the role of women in church. Some prohibit leadership roles, especially if it involves preaching or advising men, while others want women to be dynamic leaders for all. First Timothy 2:12 says, "I suffer  not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be silent." Galatians 3:28 says, "There is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." And Matthew 28:7-8 says women were the first to tell others that Jesus had risen from the grave. We had a blog in July about whether women should be pastors. This issue goes beyond that as to whether women should ever have leadership roles over men. What do you think? Posted by Steve E. Swenson
