Gender Politics within the Church
The beginning of Christianity was marked by the elevation of women by Jesus' impartiality and Paul's words, "In Christ there is neither male nor female." However, Western culture has caught up with the New Testaments teaching and goes farther than the teachings of the Church at large. Some Christians oppose the secular intrusion, while some Christians believe the Church succumbed to historical sexism and no longer teaches God's original equality.
