Found this article on the Resurgence site. Even though the post is recent, it seems like the news is old, but I’m not totally sure. At any rate, this is an interesting take on how Mars Hill Grand Rapids went from a traditional complementarian (biblical male eldership) position to an egalitarian (male/female eldership) position. While I take any church controversy with a grain of salt, it seems like things got a bit ugly.
It also seems that this kind of move might hint at a deeper-rooted approach to the scriptures that has some problems.
Don’t worry, I am not throwing Rob under the bus - even if he lets chicks into the elder meetings.
Let me know what you think.
