I have found the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood to be very good on these types of issues. Their website is here.

From their "Fifty Crucial Questions", here are questions (and answers) # 2 and #13. More info on this and other gender issues in the church are available on their site. Click on the About Us tab to find out more about this Evangelical organization.

2. What do you mean (in question 1) by "unbiblical female leadership in the church"?

We are persuaded that the Bible teaches that only men should be pastors and elders. That is, men should bear primary responsibility for Christlike leadership and teaching in the church. So it is unbiblical, we believe, and therefore detrimental, for women to assume this role. (See question 13.)

13. In question 2 and question 6, you said that the calling of the man is to bear "primary responsibility" for leadership in the church and the home. What do you mean by "primary"?

We mean that there are levels and kinds of leadership for which women may and often should take responsibility. There are kinds of teaching, administration, organization, ministry, influence, and initiative that wives should undertake at home and women should undertake at church. Male headship at home and eldership at church mean that men bear the responsibility for the overall pattern of life. Headship does not prescribe the details of who does precisely what activity. After the fall, God called Adam to account first (Genesis 3:9). This was not because the woman bore no responsibility for sin, but because the man bore primary responsibility for life in the garden-including sin.

Good for Pastor LaBouf. I always have a great deal of respect for men who take the scriptures seriously.

There is more than one reason why women aren't supposed to teach men. One is the whole Eve thing. Women are more easily fooled by lies. Then there is the whole male female order thing.

This fellow is a nitwit and should be under protective custody before he hurts himself.

I am a 60 year old Mother of 3 Sons. I taught those boys to say their prayers, clean their plates and to respect other people's property. All while their father was out trying to earn enough to put food on the table. All 3 of my boys turnout out to be tax paying, productive member of society. They go to church, their children are in Parochial Schools.

I didn't do such a bad job, if I do say so myself.

Give me a break.

So this woman has been teaching in this church for 50 years, this new pastor comes in and decides she can't do it any more?

This pastor better be glad I'm not a member of that church. I can't believe his congregation is letting him get away with it.

One day we will all drown in a tsunami of idiocy.
