"Lifting As We Climb" is part of U.S. History, too
Watching fireworks on the banks of the Brazos in Waco several years ago with family and friends. I have mixed feelings about celebrating the Fourth of July.

"Motivated by their history, Baptists get their history wrong"
I am going to start with something not Southern Baptist. So just hang on. Last year I read Ian Forrest’s Gender and Authority in the Late Medieval Church.

A Secret of the SBC Success in Banning Women as Preachers and Pastors
From my research trip last week inside the SBC headquarters in Nashville. *this post blends some abridged & summarized text (in block posts) from Becoming the Pastor’s Wife with new material to help you better understand why SBC pastors’ wives were so critical to the success of the SBC’s quest to institute a male-only clergy. *Trigger alert: I include a letter written to Dorothy Patterson that may be triggering for women who have lived in controlling relationships.
