Girls Girls Girls: Lifeway Pulls Gospel Today From Shelves Over Chick Pastors Cover
No, it wasn't a picture of JC's Girls on the cover of Gospel Today that got it pulled from shelves at Lifeway Bookstores. That might actually make sense, since the outfit is a gaggle of mostly former sex workers who've given up the g-string to preach the gospel. That's a titillating controversy, 'cause they hang out at strip clubs and buy lap dances to get these wayward ladies to grind up on Jesus for a change.
No, what got Gospel Today pulled from Lifeway Bookstores--owned by the Southern Baptist Convention--was its cover featuring a gaggle of female pastors. For some god-forsaken reason, Lifeway still hits the pillow at night believing only dudes should be ordained. Southern Baptists hold the same myopic view, though some of their churches do have female-led congregations. Are these the same people who support Sarah Palin to help head the country but not actually head up a church? Am I missing something?
Oh, but you can totally still get the mag if you ask for it. It's right back there behind the counter with Juggs for Jesus.

A woman preaching is like a dog's walking on his hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.
