Southern Baptists may cut Druid Hills church

The Georgia Baptist Convention wants to remove Druid Hills Baptist Church from its rolls because its co-pastor is a woman.

At the center of this latest controversy over the role of women in the ministry is the Rev. Mimi Walker, ordained in 2003 and co-pastor of the historic church on Ponce de Leon Avenue since 2008. Her husband, the Rev. Graham Walker, 54, also is co-pastor.

“It seems sad that they decided to go backwards in time,” said the 52-year-old Mimi Walker, a former missionary in the Philippines. “I’m not sure what the value is of trying to go back in time when women were held in subservience.”…

Pragmatism does rule the day; however, as you can see in Thoughts On Women Pastors, the Scripture is clear women are not to be pastors and this is rooted in God’s created order.
