Very important person with Professor Beverley
Here's Dorothy, my granddaughter...born December 13, 2007!
Welcome to Tyndale class of 08
To my Ethics students Fall 2008
Last year I started a website in order to post information about various topics related to ethics. I was going to change all the past entries and repost them in a new site. However, that is basically a huge waste of time. So, what I want you to do is surf the site, look at the posts that relate to stuff we have done in class this fall, and also note those other posts of interest.
Once in a while an old post will have a dated item or statement but for the most part these posts link to items on the Net that can help you in your research and living.
It is an incredible privilege to journey with you in the land of Christian ethics.

Southwestern Baptist seminary program on homemaking
Southwestern Baptist seminary in Fort Worth, Texas is the largest seminary in the world. It is in the news as of late for two reasons related to gender. One is the dismissal of Dr. Sheri Klouda, mentioned in an earlier blog. She was fired from her Old Testament professorship because she is a woman.
The second story making headlines has to do with a new program on homemaking for women. This program fits with the new Southern Baptist emphasis on traditional gender roles. Of course, this emphasis plus the new program is disconcerting for those Christians who are open to women in ministry. See Martin Marty's column in Christian Century, for example. Marty is one of the most influential Christian writers in recent American history.

Deborah Cameron's new work on gender myths
Just when I was hoping that I had found some reliable data about gender issues, I read this review of Deborah Cameron's new work on communication and gender. It looks like some so-called wisdom about male and female differences in communication might not be too solid. The first paragraph of the review makes me glad that my marriage is not set in Papua New Guinea. Happy reading and no shouting, men or women.
You can read another review here. And for her faculty profile at Oxford, go here.

Gender and Christian leadership
In class we talked about gender roles and different views of female leadership in the Church. To see how theological and biblical views play out in seminary education, check out the case of Dr. Sheri L. Klouda, a conservative Bible scholar who was dismissed from Southwestern Baptist Seminary because she is a woman. For one report on her case, go here. Professor Klouda now teaches at Taylor University and you can see her profile here.
