From the blog to the book, with humor and righteous outrage, Shirley Taylor gives you a look at leadership roles for today’s Christian women. Women are told they are equal-but they have different functions. That theology is not found in the Bible. But it determines the roles women are allowed in church, and even extends inside their own homes. Women are told they are created by God's grand design to graciously submit to their husbands because by doing so, they are actually submitting to Jesus. We know women have different functions, but whether or not they lift the toilet seat is not a spiritual function, and should not be the criteria for leadership roles. The church, which should have been the first to recognize women’s equality, has proven to be the last holdout against women. Women are beginning to question this theology. This book gives insight to what pastors are saying about women, and what they are preaching on Sunday morning. It calls them to account for their teaching. It also calls women to account for neglecting their responsibility to themselves and to other women. You will be challenged to get off your equal-but and speak up and do something. Men will be challenged to take their place alongside women, not in front of women. Originally written as blog posts on www.bwebaptistwomenforequality.wordpress.com, the content has been edited, updated, expanded, and revised. This book is written for Christians, but anyone who has a sense of justice will be outraged at what Christians are doing to each other when they deny women full equality in the church and in the home. Shirley Taylor is the author of the companion book Raising the Hood: A Christian Look at Manhood and Womanhood.

Shirley Taylor shows us that almost any event can be interesting, funny, or reflective when told with the right amount of humor and passion. Social justice, church events, personal stories, and of course Christianity, are subjects of these short stories. Originally written as a weekly church newsletter column, Shirley was encouraged to assemble them in book form. They are not all about God; however, you will see Christ reflected in these stories which were written by a church secretary just outside the pastor’s door.

In this small excerpt from my book Women Equal – No Buts: Powered by the same Source, we ask for a new song where women are equal – no buts. When one woman is denied leadership in church for no reason other than she was born female, all women are denied. Restrictions against women are nurtured in the church, and bleed out into society, causing women, children, and marriages and families to suffer. To create a new song, we must understand our present song. In the following pages you will see inside the church today. You will learn how we got to this point, and what we must do if we hope to achieve full equality in the church and home.

Women Equal - No Buts: Create in us a new song of equality

The Christian community is divided over the issue of women’s equality. This is a unique time in modern history. The church is the last holdout to giving women equality, when it should have been the first to recognize women as equals. Certain religious leaders work to keep women in what they have determined is ‘women’s place.’ The result is that women across all denominations are being restricted even more to certain roles, with female submission becoming the dominant theme in marriages and in the church. This book is a call to action. It lays the biblical foundation for female equality, exposes the myth of biblical manhood and womanhood, and dives headlong into male leadership teaching. Finally, the book leads readers to understand why they must, and how they can, dethrone male headship. Shirley Taylor speaks from her 50 years experience as a Baptist. Revised and Updated, Dethroning Male Headship: Second Edition is written for both women and men of all faiths.
