*I do not use the word "protect" here in a commendable way. Neither God nor the Scripture are in need of protection.

I look forward to these posts, Allan.
Thanks, Ted... I would appreciate any comments in response.
This is a vital conversation for The United Methodist Church. I am hearing conservative, young pastors or seminary students saying they believe in the "inerrant, infallible" authority of scripture. And I am discovering leading United Methodist pastors advocating the disregard of scriptures that do not support their own progressive viewpoint.
As a United Methodist clergywoman, I cringe when I hear either extreme. My credibility as a faithful preacher is at stake in this discussion. Thank you for taking this on. I hope you will address the appropriate role of women in the church in this series.
