The Second Blast of the Trumpet Against Women’s Ordination

In this critical episode, Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan engage in a robust, biblical discussion on the Ordination of Women in the Church. They explore the common argument that rejecting the ordination of women suggests they are of less value, countering that value is not based on being called to office or being identical to men.

They discuss how the move toward women's ordination represents a slippery slope from Reformed to Evangelical to Liberal theology..
