NYE Bubbly

I’ve checked out a copy of “Looper” which I intend to watch as soon as my dear wife comes downstairs from putting baby to sleep. (It’s not misogynist…the kid won’t sleep for anybody else).

Alastair Roberts has spilled quite a few words on the topic. My take is that he argues for ordination to be reserved for men, but more roles to be open to women than ‘traditional’ complementarians would typically permit. Worth a look. (Honestly, I have no idea how the man finds time to write so much. [...]
