Biblical Feminism

As I sit writing for my Feminist Theology class, I realize I don't fit into the mold. I'm not a Complementarian nor am I an Egalitarian. I am a female called into ministry, but I do not want to be the head of my church or my household... I just don't fit... The Complementarians believe that women shouldn't teach over a man including youth. Some even believe that includes children, that a patriarchal society is biblical with females being "lower" than men. Most people know, I am SO for equality... I don't want to go so far as to say that I think women should be the head of households or the church. I understand many women pastors understand that Christ is the head of the church and not the pastors, so that could be a loop hole into Complementarianism. As I read the conservative Complementarian view of Christian Feminism I realize that none of us have God completely figured out! That excites me! I for one NEVER want to be the person who puts God in a box saying that He will NEVER do something or that He CAN'T do something.... I would rather believe people when they say they are called to ministry by God no matter male or female. My dear friend Nicole Marburger and I used to joke that we are as close to feminist as we can be and still be Christians. The interesting thing is that I totally still believe that except when we said Christian we meant conservative Christian because we would not have and still to this would not twist Scripture as Egalitarians do. So here I am sitting on the fence believing God can and will use women in and out of full time ministry; believing ALL of scripture including Deborah and Phoebe as well as the Pastoral passages in 1 Timothy and Titus...

As I have been studying Feminist Theology tons of things have popped up such as a blog by Carlos Whittaker and then I was asked to preach at the church I was born in. Pretty interesting stuff...

So, where do you stand?
