		<description>BDW, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am a bit disappointed in some of your rhetoric here, but I don&#039;t care to offer a critique at this time.  I do think you should be more fair to your SBC brethren, seeing as you resent them being so unfair to you and the CBF.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I do want to comment about one thing you wrote:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Frank Page, Wade Burleson and these other &quot;Young Leaders&quot; remain committed to the exclusion of Women from the Ministry.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You know very well that this simply isn&#039;t true.  Women in the SBC are not excluded from ministry.  It is very clearly worded in the BF&amp;M that women are excluded from only one (1) aspect of ministry, the office of senior pastor.  That doesn&#039;t affect women in counseling ministry, youth ministry, women&#039;s ministry, music ministry, or a host of other ministry vocations and many more volunteer ministry positions.  It&#039;s a completely misleading and unfair statement and you know it.  If you want Southern Baptists to be fair to you, why don&#039;t you exercise the same toward them?  And by the way, you also know that their position on women as senior pastors is a theological position that is concluded through an introspection of more than one Biblical text.  I understand you disagree, but it is the position of the Church for 2000 years, and not some new-fangled, johnny-come-lately interpretation.  Again, fairness and respect should be extended by both sides.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for listening.</description>
