This is too funny - and believe me, as a woman in ministry I have been given similar arguments over and over. Thanks for the laugh.

I don’t get the humor in that list. Joking about the roles of male pastors is very disrespectful to men and God’s church on earth. Maybe it would be more humorous if the subject were a woman pastor. That is, if such things weren’t against all reason and propriety.
Oh, wait. I’m married to one.

Hee Hee Hee… I think I’ll read this to my students - the topic of men and women in ministry is always coming up.

At Fuller Seminary, David Scholer once performed this at a Fuller Follies Night. He dressed up as a TV evangelist with purple hair and delivered it in classic TV style.

Excellent top 10 list! I’ll keep this one and spread it around, too. There is way too much truth in this!

Thanks for the smile this morning.

I’ve been reading your blog for some time now and just wanted to say ‘hi’.

That’s great to know it has ties to Dr. Scholer! He used to teach W,B and the C back at my undergrad in Chicago and I so regret never having taken the course. It was never available when I was actually at Fuller, but I am glad to hear he is teaching it again!

This one makes the rounds every so often. I remember the unexpected mass of links I got when I posted it on my own blog almost three years ago. (Actually, I’ve posted it twice. The second time was for an International Women’s Day “Grid Blog” event, which explains some of the attention it got that time.)

For the record, I first got it from Dr. David Scholer (who will no doubt use it again in his “Women, the Bible and the Church” class at Fuller, which he’s in the middle of teaching for the 30th time!), but Dr. Scholer doesn’t claim to have written it, either. However, I believe his version mentions different sports in item #6. You’ll notice I also used “football and basketball” when I posted it to my blog, but I think the wording here (which differs from mine) is closer to Scholer’s version, which makes me wonder if this bit has just come full circle!
