Pastoral Leadership and the Gender Issue: What Does Courage Look Like?

Dr. Russell D. Moore has some great thoughts on pastoral leadership and the gender issue.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"A pastor must be willing to lose his pulpit in order to save it. He cannot simply renounce the same "culture war" opponents that might be demonized by Fox News. He must talk about issues that will be sensitive to people in his own congregation--a dating culture that by its very definition anticipates fornication, the outsourcing of parenting to daycare "professionals" in order to carry out dual-income households, and so forth. A pastor who addresses such issues will find some hostility, but he will also find Christians--and seeking lost people--who are willing to give him a hearing because of his honesty and conviction."
