I haven't read every post on this long discussion, so apologies if I repeat points already made.
The reporting on this story is awful. Mrs. Lambert and a small group of long time church members have a serious disagreement with the new direction of the church and have gone outside of their church's rules and policies for such disagreement by hiring a lawyer and writing public letters. Please visit the Waterford Daily Times news website or the First Baptist Church website for a little more background on this story. To me, the issue in this case is not Timothy, but a conflict between church leadership and a small group of church members.
The way the media is playing this strikes me as yet another example of how journalism doesn't "get it" about religion. The issue is not Christian doctrine on male-female relationships, but rather of intrachurch conflict. Media reports that play the sex angle are written by reporters that are either lazy, stupid, or biased.
The doctrine issues in Timothy are important and warrant discussion, but not from this story.
Then the church leaders should not have made Timothy an issue. They made their bed and now they will sleep in it.
