What do gay pastors & female deacons in the church have to do with each other? They both show the ever-present feminization in our churches. When the roles of men & women are blurred & the natural differences ignored, then effeminate men are OK & masculine female leaders are encouraged.

No matter how solid we think our churches are, no matter how faithful we think our denominations stand, they are not untouched by feminism. Join us as we uncover how trends like feminism are quietly seeping into churches and denominations everywhere—silencing the clear voice of God’s Word.
