Gospel Magazine pulled from Shelves because of Female Pastors on Cover

[RamboLiberal]

Smiling women on the cover of a slick magazine. Sold from under the counter. Must request it from store clerk.

That’s not something a buyer would typically find in a Christian bookstore. Not unless it’s one of the more than 100 Lifeway Christian Bookstores across the United States, including about six in metro Atlanta.

Gospel Today, the Fayetteville-published magazine, was pulled off the racks by the bookstores’ owner, the Southern Baptist Convention. The problem? The five smiling women on the cover are women of the cloth — church pastors.

Southern Baptist polity says that’s a role reserved for men.

Teresa Hairston, owner of Gospel Today, whose glossy pages feature upbeat articles about health, living, music and ministry, said she discovered by e-mail that the September/October issue of the magazine had been demoted to the realm of the risque.

God save us from those who believe in you! And these misogynistic jerks put down Islam! And I include the idiot Catholic church I grew up in. If women were smart they'd stop supporting these churches, see how long they survive without that part of the congregation who tend to do most of the work. :banghead:

3. Of course the Baptists forgot to consult with God

and I've heard She's really ticked off over this.

4. Baptists believe that a woman can't be a pastor, but

a woman can be vice-president to an old, sick man, who may very well die in office so she becomes President of the U.S.
