And, if I may ask: As a person who quite proudly wears the label of
liberal, which translates evidently into "progressive", would somebody
enlighten me as to what our "progressive agenda" is? I must have missed the
directive, and I hate to be out of the loop here. Waiting for my orders...

>>Dear visionaries,
>>
>>Warren notes that Bill London's question has gone unanswered in the flurry
>>of discussion. What should we tell our daughters? We should teach them
>>what we believe, which is that men are called by God to sacrifice, love,
>>lead, provide, protect and honor, and women are called to answer this with
>>respect, wisdom, counsel, nurture, and skillful management. I am aware of
>>the fact that all this is perfectly appalling in our egalitarian era, but
>>there it is.
>>
>>The thing that cracks me up about the progressive agenda on this subject
>>is how they quietly assume that this sort of thing is a universal "women's
>>issue" when actual women (Christian women, with brains and everything!)
>>differ with their egalitarian agenda just as much as the men do (and
>>sometimes more). But no, all women, by virtue of the combination of their
>>chromosomes, are just so many moo cows, waiting patiently to be herded
>>into liberation.
>>
>>Rosemary says that some have missed the point on her post concerning
>>Logos. They apparently thought she was comparing us to the Nazis when what
>>she was actually doing was comparing us to the Nazis.
>>
>>Sharon Sullivan objects to the "brainwashing" that goes on in conservative
>>Christian circles. In the first place, most of our brains (and hearts, and
>>hands) could use a little scrub. Thank God for forgiveness of sin! But if
>>she means (as she perhaps does) that we work the kids over with rubber
>>hoses until they comply with our horrific vision, I think she has
>>overstated her case. There are schools where a significant number of the
>>kids are kept compliant and docile by means of medications -- but that
>>would not be Logos.
>>
>>Cordially,
>>
