Dr. Laura Levens, Associate Professor for Christian Mission at BSK, recently wrote an article for Baptist News Global entitled, “Why can’t we just ‘BE KIND NOW!!’?” Dr. Levens writes,
“I also learned I was culpable, no matter how nice I was. Even though I have fought my share of battles for women’s ordination, other facets of normative church culture worked for me. Because of the benefits, I had willingly overlooked how others were demeaned. I learned how churches, denominations and Christian culture had humiliated my coworkers and my fellow seminary students in so many ways. I would not learn that some of my school friends were closeted until years after we graduated because their church would reject their call.”
