		<description>BDW, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am a bit disappointed in some of your rhetoric here, but I don'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 "Young Leaders" 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't true.  Women in the SBC are not excluded from ministry.  It is very clearly worded in the BF&#038;M that women are excluded from only one (1) aspect of ministry, the office of senior pastor.  That doesn't affect women in counseling ministry, youth ministry, women's ministry, music ministry, or a host of other ministry vocations and many more volunteer ministry positions.  It's a completely misleading and unfair statement and you know it.  If you want Southern Baptists to be fair to you, why don'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>
