That's the sort of response I'd rather see than the accusations that have been flying around here - thanks!
I have no problem with people disagreeing with me. My whole purpose in this was to correct some things that were said about what people like me believe - not to condemn anyone of to convert anyone - just to clarify.
Also, just so you'll know, we operate in this way (men only in church leadership) because that's what we believe the Bible to say is propoer. Again, you can agree or not - but that's the reason...
