I'm in the process of putting together a paper for class.  No, this is not a ploy to have you write my paper.  But as you know I often write to think so here we go again...  In my paper I'm asked to find a clear statement by evangelical Christians who hold to an egalitarian view of marital roles (husban and wife as equal in their authority and roles).  Write a 4 page paper explaining their view and critique it using a biblical argument.  Be sure to footnote and list your sources in this paper.

So in hopes of finding some sources I jumped on Google and went to town.  The list here is what I found that interested me from "both sides of the fence" so to speak.  The first 5 are written from the egalitarian perspective and most of them were taken from the website "Christians for Biblical Equality" one of the main leaders of the egalitarian perspective.  The next 5 are written from the complementary perspective and most of them were taken from the website "The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood".

I'm in the processing these articles and putting together a 4 page paper... no easy task for me... for my Marriage and Family Counseling class.  I've got just 2 classes and a thesis left to finish my masters... the road is long but I think there will be light around this next bend.

By the way I started a wordpress and a facebook if anyone is interested.
