There is a case which can be made out for women in ministry. See the Puritan, Matthew Poole, on I Tim 2. The Bible is of such intellectual depth that even the bible-believing conservatives are in over their heads on this one. God put the matter in such a way that we might show forth a Chrisian spirit in love and learn about the profound nature of this God-given Faith.

I don't know Taylor or anything about her, but I've known women like her who were maligned by their churches in the face of their calls. The sad truth is that most of these women likely wouldn't be comfortable in Baptist churches like mine or yours. The theology just doesn't work.
