We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

The Church & Women

The following video clip of an interview with Ben Witherington, a biblical scholar,  contains an excellent brief description of the place and role of women in the early church and the implications of the status of women for our understanding of the role of women in today's church.  It runs for just under eight minutes and is well worth the time.  Enjoy!
