unrefined theological musings, random personal reflections and occasional naughtiness…
Hamo,
That’s great news. I hope it thrives. I sadly note that there are no females in any position of leadership or even as advisors. Really, how can things move forward if that is still the case in 2008? Perhaps we need to start enforcing quotas?

This is good. The site looks great! I like the blacksmith – forge I actually got it :0)
Yeeha??? Are you part Texan and never told anybody?
Andrew
Its an ongoing issue isn’t it?
But then the quotas thing brings ‘tokenism’ into play and that is as equally a vile response!
Hamo,
My idea of quotas was a bit tongue in cheek (a bit) as I am oriented towards merit too but merit clearly isn’t working. I raise this issue constantly and people just go blearly eyed and look away. This is a most serious issue and we are simply not ’emergent signs’ of a healthy missional future if our systems are still so patriarchial.
For the record, on my church’s pastoral team everyone was appointed on merit and we have 3 females and 2 males.
Anyway I’m off on three weeks leave now so watch me disappear!
