It's annoyingly obvious the writer has no clue about Christian hierarchy. The article states that Pastor Driscoll's church will promote women to "deacon".

Women aren't called to be "deacons", IMO, however, a woman can be called to be a deaconess.

In particular, Chapman and his supporters mentioned earlier entries from Driscoll's blog, one of which suggested to some that the wife of evangelical leader Ted Haggard was partly to blame for his contacts with a gay prostitute.

"A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband is not responsible for her husband's sin, but she may not be helping him, either," Driscoll wrote.

Surely if the writer had a clue he would not have allowed in print Chapman's claim that Driscoll partly blamed Haggard's wife when the following sentence proves just the opposite. Not helping him does not equal "partly to blame".
