		<description>woohaa...yeah, some good reading.

I&#039;m not familiar with the terminology, it&#039;s obviously American, but I managed to figure out the sorts of theologies they were talking about.

I agree that complementarian theology (if that&#039;s what it&#039;s called) generally isn&#039;t a problem in practice, I&#039;ve seen this in the lives of my own friends.  But that doesn&#039;t make the theology ok - as a poster over on Makeesha&#039;s blog points out, that attitude assumes that the marriage is a healthy one.  What happens when it&#039;s not?  Our theology does inform our practice, and oppressive theologies can lead to oppressive practice.

I have to say I haven&#039;t studied Paul&#039;s writings in depth for a long time, but I did back in first year uni, and I satisfied myself then that the &quot;man is the head of woman&quot; (complementarianism) was a load of rubbish.  It&#039;s a little bit hard to engage much further than this without going back and re-doing that reading, which I probably should do at some point anyway!</description>
