Last week, we discussed what happened when the Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to dismiss from its fellowship a congregation that is pushing for the ordination of women. Southern Baptist doctrine recognizes that only men are permitted to serve in the role of pastor. That position agrees with our own church’s position on the topic. If you were asked what the Bible says on this topic or why our church teaches what it does, how would you respond? Would you be able to say, “This is what the Bible clearly says?”
