Can women bloggers blog without the Truly Reformed being offended? Heck No!!

But I have seen others, written by women, that set out, or so it seems, to set the world straight about Auburn Avenue theology, the history of the New Testament church, that seek to change this government policy or that, that direct you to this teacher or some other. Now bear in mind that many of these ladies are pushing the very same things I would push. The trouble I’m getting at isn’t that they are pushing against what I think to be biblical wisdom, but that they are pushing at all.

I have grumbled in the past that the internet, for all its strengths, for all its power in diffusing centralized communication, comes with this exact kind of danger. People are teaching who shouldn’t be teaching. And people are learning where they ought not to be learning. A husband who loses his wife to a hook-up with some internet Lothario is probably better off than one who returns from work to find his wife safely at home, but having been seduced into Rome by some charming blogger.

If your church wants to say women can’t speak or teach, that’s fine. If you want to teach your daughters that’s unchanging truth, and not culturally considered, I totally support you. (I love the donuts at the Traditional Mennonite bakery in town. And the girls are adorable in their 19th century garb.) But how about the Truly Reformed allowing women to blog in the blogosphere without carping? I mean, damnable errors and all, we’re not living in Iran…yet.
