A picture is worth a thousand words….
Monday, May 12th, 2008I don’t talk about pastoral theology or the church too much on this blog as it is not the focus, but following a link from my feedreader, I was a little shockedby the “council” page image of the Gospel Coalition, click on it and take a quick look.
Now, as an evangelical I’m supportive of making the message of Jesus relevant for the next generation β but when I see a council that is more than 60% white male with NO women, I start to wonder a bit. If it seeks to be a “gospel coalition” I would think they want to be representative of those who believe the gospel.
Now it is of course their prerogative to believe what they want β their doctrinal statement makes it clear what they think and the makeup of their council reflects that (they just happen to all misunderstand the bible, but I won’t take that up here). But they have as part of their mandate creating literature and reaching out to colleges. That bothers me even more β going out and representing the evangelical view on contemporary issues when they don’t even believe women can hold the same leadership roles in the church!
Okay, back to dissertation work…..
