I found this article interesting due to our church recently having being asked to move and assume the duties leadership at another (much larger facility) local assembly. The church in question had seen it’s membership dwindle in recent years down to a dozen or so. One of the stipulations for receiving this property was agreeing to remain in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).

In a recent post, Oklahoma Baptist Pastor Wade Burleson has attacked (again) the idea the Bible prohibits women from holding the New Testament position of pastor-bishop- elder.

Dr. Tom Nettles responds.
