EthicsDaily reports that Southern Baptist Convention president Frank Page argued for women’s ordination in his 1980 Ph.D dissertation. He has long since changed his view to a more complementarian one, believing that the office of pastor is scripturally reserved for men only.
So my question is this . . . who cares what he wrote 26 years ago? Do the egalitarians consider this some sort of “a-ha, you’re outed” moment?
Hey, EthicsDaily . . . 20-some-odd years ago, I believed in the Tooth Fairy. Write a story on that.

A lot of erm “journalists” think that picking up long-buried differences and hurling them at the present *is* journalism. It’s the adult equivalent of pulling down someone’s pants and then telling the playground what color their undies are. It’s always very professional and always impressive. Heh.
