On the topic of women: explaining their conclusions on the role of women in worship the elders of Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, TX say “Our experiences over these several years led to certain results, which proved to be very important. At every step of this study, we bathed our study, our discussions, and our 'daily life in prayer before God. We came to understand the various backgrounds, insights and inner feelings of a wide diversity of people in race, age and gender. We slowly grew in love closer to God and to one another as we tried to understand many issues in life, not just the function of women in public worship. We received improved perceptions of the meaning and application of scripture and of contemporary thought and life. This has confirmed our former studies about the religious issues mentioned above, and inspires us to approach new issues for the church in the future.” Emphasis added.
Prayer often confirms what we already believe as it did with the Highland elders.
One of the reasons the church loses a large number of its youth may be that when their beliefs are challenged by folks who believe differently they find the bible does not support what they have been taught.
