If you’ve ever seen the old movie about Peter Marshall, “A Man Called Peter,” you may recall there is a great speech by Catherine Marshall where she explains the view that women and men should have different roles. I’ve never heard it put better than she put it there.

I just looked and discovered someone posted the scene on Youtube. Here it is, for your viewing pleasure.

It’s interesting to see all of this listed out. Sometimes you don’t realize how much on one particular topic is contained in a book, until you take an inventory.

There’s no doubt that Jesus granted women equal status under the law. That was amazing, and rather bold. On the other hand, He chose 12 men to lead the Church, leading me to believe that leadership is ultimately the man’s role. Not that a man’s role is greater than a woman’s, just different.

I don’t think I would call Jesus a feminist, with all the baggage that term carries nowadays. But I get your point.

Thanks for the insights.
