I Corinthian 11

 The Sunday School I am attending now is going through I Corinthians. I like this Sunday School. I like this church. They are good with having women as elders and pastors.

In our Sunday School we have lively discussions. One older woman, who loves God so much and has served Him a long time, has a lot of questions. I get the feeling that she has been beaten with the usual clobber verses because of the questions she has been asking and wanting to talk about.

We aren't to the eleventh chapter of 1 Corinthians yet. But it's coming.

I want to study the meaning of "head" in that chapter so I can have an answer for her when the questions come. So I'm linking my sources here so I can find them easily.

These are all Marg Mowezko references, She is in my blog roll. But I'm open to know about more.

Doug Wilson Compared to Crime Boss

 I've been listening to the Sons of Patriarchy podcast. It's been pretty good. But I've heard most of the stories before.

Today's podcast Immersive Communities: Abuse in CREC, part III presents three never publicly heard stories. All are worth a listen.

But one, in particular, caught my attention.

A former Chief Operations Officer of New St. Andrews College in Moscow named Tony had no idea what he was getting into with his job at Doug Wilson's college. He saw, first hand how the cult purposely mishandled abuse cases. When he advised going to the police with reports of abuse, he was shot down.

Tony had previous experience with inner city ministries. The neighborhoods he worked in had crime families that they had to work around and out maneuver. He said that working at St. Andrews was similar. This is found in the first 20-30 minutes of the podcast. If you get a chance, give it a listen.
