maybe because of Covid, people being ‘so busy’ etc how much I have shied away from asking people to serve. I make excuses for them before I even invite them – as if assuming the ‘no’.
Why would Paul name two men getting it wrong then apparently write ‘so the answer is don’t let women teach?’ Writing something which for 2000 years since has been used – by men – to clobber women into submission at worst, or relegate them to help in Sunday school at best?Could it be because we’ve read the rest of scripture through the lens of these two verses, rather than the other way round?
