[Vision2020] Logos School's all-male board

[Melynda Huskey]

Why, Doug (Jones), you puzzle me.  Those binary oppositions weren't mine, 
but Chesterton's, as cited approvingly by Doug (Wilson):  I presumed that he 
agreed with Chesterton, and consequently with the metaphoric divisions 
Chesterton established.

Mine is not the theology that asserts that men are divinely and 
categorically appointed to lead and women to follow:  that's the 
"Trinitarians."  Of course, that's what I'd also call simplistically 
either/or.  Maybe I'm missing something.

I'd be interested myself to see statistics from a "Trinitarian" culture:  
does anyone know of one?

Melynda

"We utterly deny all outward wars and strife, and fightings with outward 
weapons, for any end, or under any pretense whatsoever: this is our 
testimony to the whole world."
Quaker Declaration of 1660
