My initial comments on this matter was strictly in reference to the U.S. not other countries. Quoting from the Royal Ranger Leadership Manual: "Each country must be allowed to develop its organization within its autonomous, self-governing framework. Cultural, language, and legal differences must be recognized. Each country should have the 'freedom' to change or exclude parts of our 'North American' Royal Rangers program that might be 'offensive' or 'meaningless'." The Division of Foreign Missions of the AoG has used Royal Rangers as a mission tool to reach, teach and keep children for Christ. Any effort used to bring glory to God will bear fruit, even if it's a variation of an original plan. This is evident by the responses chronicled by those on this net. Some concerns, thoughts and lessons I learned from your responding e-mail: 1. A women in khakis should never feel that she is unworthy or unwanted by her male counterparts. 2. We can have differences but show love towards each other at all times. 3. Don't consider someone your enemy because they disagree with you. 4. Consider the other persons view point, even if you disagree. 5. Submit your responses to prayer first. 6. Lift up Jesus in everything. 7. Quote godly people and concepts. 8. If it doesn't always agree with you, it's not necessarily sin. FINAL THOUGHTS: Even with all the debate, I am still convinced that we continue to emphasize Royal Rangers in the U.S. as a Men's Ministry. If women want a parallel ministry change Missionettes. HERE'S SOMETHING FUNNY TO PONDER: I was just thinking about when we were boys,. How we had our private forts and clubhouses and would post a sign, "BOYS ONLY GIRL'S KEEP OUT". For some reason that sign meant nothing to the girls. They found any way they could to get themselves in that clubhouse. Nothing changes much when you get older. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding; so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him who is true - even in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 1 JOHN 5:20 God Bless - In Jesus, Will Marengo _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
