Delegates at the denomination’s convention approved a stricter ban on female pastors and rejected the appeals of two churches led by women to remain in the denomination.
Yikes. There is quite a pattern developing in the religious right, in the US at least. We are turning back the clock folks.
I was raised an atheist and didn’t find Christ until adulthood. So I am quite familiar with dismissing Christianity and any other religion for a variety of reasons.
Incidentally, I was also nihilistic and depressed for all those years, but I can only identify that in retrospect, because at the time, living in secular culture, the nihilism and depression just seemed like the normal way of being for people.
I’m a Christian because I know without a doubt in my heart that Christ is real, and He really is the way, the truth, and the life.
