Well said! I especially appreciate your line about ‘how far can you go to include women.’ Some complimentarian churches seem to take the opposite approach, like drawing a fence around the Torah, and keep women out of certain areas ‘just to be safe.’
It's the only approach for a sincere leadership team that earnestly believes they are being brothers to their sisters—"we want to honor scripture but we also see that he has gifted you women and we want to make ways for you to serve the church." Not, sit down and let the men lead.
"Clarity is kindness." Yes! Thanks for sharing.
