The BGCT was one of the best state conventions left in the South. Chuck is probably right about the financial motivations which is also sad--money over prophetic faithfulness. Why, at the end of the first decade of the 21st C., are we still debating women in ministry? Extremeley sad. Sad. The BGCT was one of the best state conventions left in the South.

De-emphasizing the Senior Pastor role of women is probably necessary to avoid seeing contributions continue to go south, since maybe dozens--certainly not hundreds--of BGCT churches believe it's biblical.
