Rick White has a helpful post on dealing with the communication of the complimentarian view point for church and family. He think we need to be more clear on three different fronts:- The Biblical Front. “What does the Bible say on this matter? What are the most basic and elemental texts that speak to gender roles?”
- The Theological/Philosophical Front. “What are the doctrinal implications of not holding to a complementarian positions? What key doctrines will need to be adjusted to make way for an egalitarian view?”
- The Personal Front. “How do you live out the tension of co-equal, yet different roles? How does your behavior and attitude speak to a successfully sanctified out-working of scriptural gender roles? How does your life fight against the notion that male headship necessitates a low view of women?”
