In this post I will focus on the women who are members of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.
The names of the women are as follows:
Mary Farrar
Susan Hunt
Rebecca Jones
Mary Kassian
Heather Moore
Their functions as stated on the webpage of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood are as follows:
Mary Farrar Homemaker and Author and Speaker
Susan Hunt Pastor's Wife and Speaker and Author
Rebecca Jones Homemaker and Author and Editor
Mary Kassian Homemaker and Author and Women's Ministry Consultant and Distinguished Professor of Women's Studies The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Heather Moore Homemaker
My Comment
It is interesting to me that in the case of these women the function of Homemaker is considered their primary function even though they may function in other ways.
For instance Mary Farrar is an Author and a Speaker besides being a Homemaker.
Rebecca Jones is an Author and an Editor besides being a Homemaker.
Mary Kassian is an Author, a Women's Ministry Consultant and a Distinguished Professor of Women's Studies besides being a Homemaker.
As for Heather Moore, her only function seems to be of that of a Homemaker so it makes sense to mention that as her primary function.
As for Susan Hunt, her primary function seems to be that of a now more or less official (unpaid) function as Pastor's Wife. However, that has come about because of a faulty understanding of I Timothy 3:11 while once again her other functions as Speaker and Author are considered secondary.
The above is clearly a case of men's bias against women, especially in light of the fact, that as I stated in my previous post, no mention is made of any of these men being fathers or Homemakers, not even as a secondary function.
