Women in the Church

"Some scholars have suggested that Mary of Magdala (A.K.A. the Magdalene) might have been a co-equal disciple with the well-known twelve. I would have no trouble believing that. After all, she was at the cross and she was the first person to see the risen Christ."

Absolutely. I certainly believe that she was a co-disciple. You and I have had the "Paul" discussion before, so I was aware of some of your feelings on this subject. This is the biggest problem I've had with the Baptist church, which brings me back to the exclusion I was speaking of.

I don't have a problem with giving men and women different jobs and different titles in the church. The Catholic church is very good at doing so. But to tell a woman that she has no place serving the church is unbelievable. Jesus certainly didn't discriminate.
