Prevailing Winds "For the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom . . ." 2 Cor. 3:17, TNIV

“The idea that there is a once-given, unchangeable hierarchical social order established before the fall that permanently sets men over women is a figment of male imagination . . . There is profound teaching in the Bible that indicates that neither the subordination of women nor the institution of slavery is a timeless, transcultural social structuring or ordering that is pleasing to God. Christians have to choose between accepting that emancipation is true in both matters or not true in both matters.” Rev. Dr. Kevin Giles, former Vicar of St. Michaels, Diocese of Melbourne, Australia, writing in Priscilla Papers, Christians for Biblical Equality, vol. 22, No. 3, Summer 2008.
