"...women gaining the right to vote in 1920 meant Social Gospel leaders expanded Protestants’ power at the ballot box. Many Social Gospel leaders embraced women’s suffrage because women were already leading supporters for their causes..." theconversation.com/100-years-ago-…
Luke 10:38-42 is a @lectionary reading for this Sunday. It recounts an occasion when Jesus stayed with Mary and Martha in their home in Bethany. I discuss these sisters and their brother here. margmowczko.com/martha-mary-an…

Praise by evangelicals who revered John MacArthur flood social media but @Rickpidcock refuses to submit. "How should we respond when someone who uses theology to promote ignorant, misogynistic, racist, power mongering authoritarianism dies?" @Baptistnews baptistnews.com/article/john-m…

Reading this, grappling with wondering where/if aspects of complementarianism might be included in the cult category? Certainly some aspects fall in line with hard core biblical patriarchy that fit the definition of cultic culture. cbeinternational.org/resource/in-go… @Mimi_CBE @CBEInt
