Fair comments. And I apologize if I did not address Nancy's original comment. I do not remember seeing it. Perhaps it would be interesting to psychologically examine women in and outside of the church, or examine women in churches that do and do not adhere to viewing men and women as somehow functionally different. I would imagine it would be interesting to study women in churches that teach the authority of men over women, and look at how the women view this teaching, if they agree with it, where they agree with it, where they see it mutated and abused, the psychological differences (if any) between women in and outside of this male-authority church teaching, etc. Offhand I don't know if there has been any research done, but maybe someone else has something to offer. Perhaps that would be an appropriate use of the topic. Best Wishes, JPG --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
